The Kahlil Gibran Phenomenon

I think Kahlil Gibran is natural + 'The Prophet', a collection of twenty-six prose poems, delivered as sermons by a fictional wise man in a faraway time and place is a gem + he is perceived by the experts as the best selling poet of all time, after Shakespeare and Lao-tzu + since its publication, in 1923, 'The Prophet' has sold more than nine million copies in its American edition alone + translated into more than 20 languages + I think it's a brilliant man's philosophy on love, marriage, joy and sorrow, time, friendship +++++++
