The Madman

In my college days, Kahlil Gibran was one of my favorites, but that was back when I also adored Paulo Coelho and Ayn Rand. Now that I am a slightly more discerning and far more cynical reader, I was expecting to be underwhelmed when I re-read Gibran. But no; the dreamy and irreverent verses are as delightful as I remembered them to be.
