Gibran Khalil Gibran
I
BELIEVE IN YOU
Gibran Khahlil Gibran (1883-1931), 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.
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.
And when he says the following do know the wisdom behind it...never let people mislead you even if it is the Holy City....
On my way to the Holy City I met a pilgrim and I asked him, "Is this
indeed the way to the Holy City?" And he said, "Follow me, and you will
reach the Holy City in a day and a night." And I followed him. And we walked
many days and many nights, yet we did not reach the Holy City. And what
was to my surprise he became angry with me because he had misled me.
