The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift. It is Gibran's gift to us, as well, for Gibran's prophet is rivaled in his wisdom only by the founders of the world's great religions. On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired." Free of dogma, free of power structures and metaphysics, consider these poetic, moving aphorisms a 20th-century supplement to all sacred traditions--as millions of other readers already have. --Brian Bruya
Poet, philosopher, and artist, was born in Lebanon, a land that has produced many prophets.
The millions of Arabic-speaking peoples familiar with his writings in that language consider him the genius of his age.
But he was a man whose fame and influence spread far beyond the Near East. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages.
His drawings and paintings have been exhibited in the great capitals of the world and compared by Auguste Rodin to the work of William Blake.
In the United States, which he made his home during the last twenty years of his life, he began to write in English.
The Prophet and his other books of poetry, illustrated with his mystical drawings, are known and loved by innumerable Americans who find in them an expression of the deepest impulses of man's heart and mind.

“当那些睡在绒毛上面的人所做的梦,并不比睡在土地上的人的梦更美好的时候,我怎能对生命的公平失掉信心呢?” ——纪伯伦 这些天看先知,也顺便浏览了一些冰心翻译的其他部分有关纪伯伦的诗集,这位黎巴嫩的“...

評分看到一篇《纽约客》关于纪伯伦的八卦文,作者援引了两部纪伯伦传记来证明:纪伯伦是个彻头彻尾的失败者和伪君子,《先知》也不过是另一部取巧的《心灵鸡汤》。 Joan Acocella——一位职业舞评人——的文字利落,简练,生动,画面感极强,直指痛处,好吧我承认对此我只有羡慕嫉...
評分当初摘抄他的东西的时候,感觉没有《飞鸟集》的好。现在回过头来看,觉得至于现实比较的受用。尤其又看到里面关于朋友的一段,感慨良多: 总该邀朋友共享生命才是。 当你和朋友离别时,不要悲伤; 因为他最为你所珍爱的特质会在他离去后显得更加醒目,...
評分纪伯伦《先知》经典语句摘录 《船来了》:请不要让我们的眼睛因渴望见到你的面容而酸痛。 《爱》:爱,不占有也不被占有。因为,爱在爱中满足了。你付出爱时,不要说“上帝在我心中”,而应该说“我在上帝心中”。而且不要以为你可以为爱指引方向,因为,若爱认为你够资格...
