"""A tear to unite me with those of broken heart; A smile to be a sign of my joy in existence."". A book of poetry by Khalil Gibran that touches every soul. Kahlil Gibran was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist, also considered a philosopher although he himself rejected the title.Gibran discussed ""such themes as religion, justice, free will, science, love, happiness, the soul, the body, and death"" in his writings, which were ""characterized by innovation breaking with forms of the past, by symbolism, an undying love for his native land, and a sentimental, melancholic yet often oratorical style."" About his language in general (both in Arabic and English), Salma Khadra Jayyusi remarks that ""because of the spiritual and universal aspect of his general themes, he seems to have chosen a vocabulary less idiomatic than would normally have been chosen by a modern poet conscious of modernism in language."" According to Jean Gibran and Kahlil G. Gibran, ""Ignoring much of the traditional vocabulary and form of classical Arabic, he began to develop a style which reflected the ordinary language he had heard as a child in Besharri and to which he was still exposed in the South End [of Boston]. This use of the colloquial was more a product of his isolation than of a specific intent, but it appealed to thousands of Arab immigrants."""

"Do you notice how full these things are of what we have said in talking together - sometimes years ago? There's nothing in them that doesn't come from our talks. Talking about them with you has made them clear to me. And one writes these things in order to find in anthem his own higher self. This poem has made me better. Everything that one writes or paints is a picture or a story of his inner self. Every face that one draws is his own face."Kahlil Gibran to Mary Elizabeth Haskell on May 6, 1918, after he revealed to her his first draft of "The Prophet."
