A great companion to "The Prophet"

Anyone who has read Gibran's book "The Prophet" should read "The Eye of the Prophet". While the first book is the masterpiece of philosophic poetry, this one is it's great companion in prose. Both books prescribe philosophical view on love, marriage, death, beauty -- things and topics that encircle all of our lives and experiences. The best thing one can do it to have both of these books as a tools to use and reflect in times of need, doubt and inspiration. I have read the hardcover copy of the book. I wish that hardcopy edition of the book had as many illustrations by it's author as "The Prophet". But alas, we only get to enjoy the one on the cover. For readers new to Gibran it is helpful to know that he was a wonderful painter in addition to his excellence in writing.

beautiful...

This is my number one favorite book...Gibran's words are beautiful, and his thoughts on every subject resonate powerfully with my personal feelings....
