Sand and Foam
by Kahlil Gibran
Poetry is wisdom that captivates the heart. Wisdom is poetry that sings in the mind. This book of aphorisms contains much of the poetry and wisdom that earned Calyl Gibran his extraordinary love and worldwide reputation. His power came from a great reservoir of spiritual life, otherwise it would not have been so universal and so powerful, but the splendor and beauty of the language in which he wore it was entirely his own (Claude Bragdon).
