I Once Sadly Loved This World: Selected Prose Poems by Kahlil Gibran

"I Loved the World Sadly: Selected Classic Prose Poems of Kahlil Gibran" contains the complete collection of "The Prophet" and "Sand and Foam" by Kahlil Gibran, the world's most outstanding poet in the 20th century. "Sand and Foam" is composed of short chapters with long charm, like crystal clear pearls, reflecting the author's profound thoughts and fantastic imagination. It is a pair with Rabindranath Tagore's "Birds". Both of them use short and meaningful poems to penetrate into the hearts of readers bit by bit. Compared with the liveliness and freedom of "Birds", Gibran's "Sand and Foam" is more dignified and rich in imagination. "The Prophet" is known as "the best gift from the East to the West". It is a scripture that guides the path of life. Every word is exquisite and full of poetry. It is like a sweet spring, gurgling to nourish the hearts of readers. The author uses the farewell words of a wise man to discuss a series of life and social issues such as love and beauty, life and death, marriage and family, work and happiness, law and freedom, good and evil and religion. It is full of metaphors and philosophy and has a strong oriental color. Gibran's prose poems have been translated into 56 languages, selected into one of the 100 literary classics of the 20th century, and have conquered generations of Eastern and Western readers.
