"Forget not that I shall come back to you. A little while, and my longing shall gather dust and foam for another body. A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me." - Kahlil Gibran.

The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran, has delighted and inspired millions worldwide since it was first, published in 1923.
