The Vision
The parables Gibran wrote before The Prophet, working out what he believed human beings had forgotten about their own nature.
Early prose poems and parables written between the wars, in which Gibran works through what he thought human beings had forgotten about their own nature. Slighter than The Prophet and closer to its raw material, with the same insistence that the soul is the only reliable instrument for reading the world. Translated by Juan Cole.
