Kahlil Gibran - Complete Project Gutenberg: Works of George Meredith

ON CHILDREN And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children. And he said: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.<BR> You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

Recommended it? Yes

While the Bible's poetry, namely the Psalms, influenced my early works of poetry, this absolutely stunning book by Gibran, a Lebanese poet from earlier this century (can't say that much longer!), influences me now. Of course the Bible has influenced both of our writings, but Gibran's mystical... Read full review »
