William Blake and Kahlil Gibran, Poets of Prophetic Vision is a book of literary criticism in English. This book is a comparative study of two major Romantic poets and is unique in its scope and content. Its uniqueness and relevance stem from the fact that it remains the only comprehensive comparative study done on Blake and Gibran. While some remarks about Blake's influence on Gibran can be found scattered in books on the Lebanese-American poet, no other serious attempt has been made to bring the two major authors together in a thorough comparison with a detailed analysis of their works. In addition to asserting Blake's supreme influence on Gibran, this book also explicitly addresses the influence of the Bible on the writings, artwork and lives of both Blake and Gibran. It highlights the effect of Anglo-American Romanticism and the Transcendentalist Movement on the Lebanese poet and traces the temporary, yet powerful, impact of Nietzsche on Gibran. The book also attempts to explore the importance of prophetic vision, to address prophecy, to define the function of imagination in relation to nature, and to establish the role of the poet as the supreme visionary and prophet. There is evidence that Gibran knew some of Blake's poetry and was familiar with his drawings during his early years in Boston. However, this knowledge of Blake was neither deep nor complete. Kahlil Gibran was reintroduced to William Blake's poetry and art in Paris, most likely in Auguste Rodin's studio and by Rodin himself. It was then that Gibran read Blake's complete works and his biography and carefully studied many reproductions of Blake's drawings. From that time on, Blake played a special role in Gibran's life. In Paris, Gibran was called "the twentieth-century Blake." Blake's and Gibran's reading of the Bible, their rebellion against Church corruption, and their sociopolitical visions were very similar. Both men rejected reason in favor of imagination and shared the muse of art and poetry equally. This is not to say that Gibran was a mere copy of Blake, but to affirm that in Blake he found the support and confirmation for his own early doctrines that he developed before or during reading Blake. The book also highlights and analyses the two differences in the authors' convictions: their respective concepts of Nature and their views of Reincarnation. The book is divided into five chapters and it places Gibran in his proper historical context as it attempts to draw contrasts and comparisons with all major Anglo-American romantic and transcendentalist writers. It concludes with presenting both Gibran and Blake as poets of the Bible and tries to clarify the controversy regarding Gibran's response to Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." Gibran respected Nietzsche and learned from him how to present his ideas in a messianic overtone. However, Gibran disagreed with the German philosopher and fully accepted Blake's concept of Christ. Christ remained Blake's and Gibran's idol and hero, the role model after whom they fashioned their lives.

"This volume is in part translation from the Arabic parables, in part written directly in English. A small book of only seventy pages, it is a product of the poet's youth and early manhood, rich with promise of what was to follow. It is entirely of the East, with no shading of Western thought or content. It is an expression of the passionate inner life not yet restrained and controlled by the vaster wisdom andcompassion that came to bud in The Forerunner and to full flower in The Prophet . . . "Here for the first time Gibran registers fully his sense of that aloneness which remained with him always, even unto the end. Always he was alien to this planet, to this time and this scene, yet always he battled to reduce this distance between himself and ourselves. But as he once said, 'Ye would not.'" --Barbara Young, in This Man from Lebanon: A Study of Kahlil Gibran

This book is a comparative study in Arabic on Gibran Kahlil Gibran and William Blake. Poetry and art are twins. Both are the offspring of suffering and joy. Gibran translated Blake's "Innocence and Experience" into a "Tear and a Smile." Nevertheless, the unending drama of human existence unfolds itself in the pages of both men. Only the elected and gifted soul is capable of creativity, of reading the world differently, and of rebelling against evil clothed in a lamb's garment. Art knows no boundaries. It transcends all national limits and is only satisfied with the universal. There, time and place lose their ability to imprison the artist in a closed cell. The inspired poet becomes a winged soul floating over life, embracing the infinite. It is in the midst of this vast expanse where the responsibility of the artist becomes eternal and his mission turns holy that we can speak of Kahlil Gibran and William Blake together. Both Gibran and Blake were poets and artists. Both rebelled against the decayed and rigid laws of church and society. Both rejected Reason in the name of Imagination and read the Bible in its "Diabolical form." Above all, the two poets shared a basic prophetic vision and apocalyptic view of the universe. Throughout their works, the messianic mission of the poet and the function of the artist is clear. Poetry is to lead the people back to Eden, and painting must be a step from nature toward the infinite. Both Gibran and Blake were poets and artists.

"You are your own forerunner, and the towers you have builded are but the foundation of your own giant-self. And that self too shall be a foundation." "And I too am my own forerunner, for the long shadow stretching before me at sunrise shall gather under my feet at the noon hour. Yet another sunrise shall lay another shadow before me, and that also shall be gathered at another noon." "Always have we been our own forerunners, and always shall we be. And all that we have gathered and shall gather shall be but seeds for fields yet unploughed. We are the fields and the ploughmen, the gatherers an the gathered."

"My all-time favorite collection of poems . . . [Gibran's] poetry always roots me in my humanity." --Rupi Kaur, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Milk and Honey, The Sun and Her Flowers, and Home Body A stunning new hardcover edition--with a full linen case, copper stamping, turquoise gilded edges, and colored endpapers--of one of the world's most beloved and popular spiritual classics, featuring a new foreword by Rupi Kaur The most famous work of spiritual fiction of the twentieth century, The Prophet is rooted in Kahlil Gibran's own experience as an immigrant and provides inspiration to anyone feeling adrift in a world in flux. As a prophet named Almustafa is about to board a ship to travel back to his homeland after twelve years in exile, he is stopped by a group of people who ask him to share his wisdom before he leaves. In twenty-eight poetic essays, he does so, offering profound and timeless insights on many aspects of life, including love, pain, friendship, family, beauty, religion, joy, sorrow, and death. An immediate success when first published in 1923, The Prophet is a modern classic, having been translated into more than forty languages and sold more than ten million copies in the United States alone. The message it imparts, of finding divinity through love, made it the bible of 1960s culture and continues to touch hearts and minds across generations and national borders. This edition is illustrated with twelve of Gibran's famous visionary paintings and features a foreword by Rupi Kaur. In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
