And they say in their wakefulness: You and the world in which you live are nothing but a grain of sand on an infinite shore of an infinite expanse. And in my dream I say to them: I am the endless sea, and all the worlds are nothing but grains of sand on my shore.
This is how Gibran Khalil Gibran speaks in this book in the voice of the poet, the wise man, and his words are nothing but the summary of his human and creative experience.
