Treasured Writings Of Kahlil Gibran - Plot & Excerpts
When I reached the shore, the mist from the mountains had engauzed the region as a veil adorns the face of a young woman. I gazed at the teeming waves and listened to their praise of God and meditated upon the eternal power hidden within them—that power which runs with the tempest and rises with the volcano and smiles through the lips of the roses and sings with the brooks.

Life, Love, and Beauty are three persons in one, who cannot be separated or changed.” A second phantom spoke with a voice that roared like cascading water and said: “Life without Rebellion is like seasons without Spring.
