Kahlil Gibran, as written to Mary Haskell?I wish I could tell you, beloved Mary, what your letters mean to me. They create a soul in my soul. I read them as messages from life. Sometimes they always come when I need them most, and they always bring that element which makes us desire more days and more nights and more life. Whenever my heart is bare and quivering, I feel the terrible need of someone to tell me that there is a tomorrow for all bare and quivering hearts, and you always do it, Mary.?Loving words written by Kahlil Gibran that were first unveiled to the world in 1972 in the groundbreaking book, Beloved Prophet. And just one of many writings in Kahlil?s own hand that were discovered thirty years after his death, in a trove of spectacular materials of over ten thousand pages in length that told the story of his maturation as an adult, and his secret, loving relationship with Mary Elizabeth Haskell.Beloved Prophet is the true story of their love, and their collaboration on his masterpiece, The Prophet, the best-selling book of the 20th Century, all told in the words of Kahlil and Mary, excerpted from their letters and her journals, which chronicled their meetings over decades. Out of print for nearly 40 years, Beloved Prophet returns in a second edition, edited by the son of the original editor, Virginia Hilu.The charming, loving, relationship of Kahlil and Mary awaits again for fans of the beloved poet, and for a new generation of romantics seeking inspiration in a loving relationship between two people who cared more for the other?s happiness than their own. |
