But it contains one of my favorite quotes of all time - a quote fairly telling of why I will always and forever be a tree-hugging, romantic with a penchant toward mysticism: I found the endless prairies where I have this old paperback titled, "Secrets of the Heart" by Kahlil Gibran.

I found the endless prairies where the light of the sun rests, and where the flowers breathe their fragrance into space, and where the streams sing their way into the sea. I discovered the mountains where I found the fresh awakening of Spring, and the colorful longing of Summer, and the rich songs of Autumn, and the beautiful mystery of winter. I came to this far corner of God's domain for I hungered to learn the secrets of the Universe, and approach close to the throne of God. Sep 20, Anhad Gill rated it really liked it. This book was not one of my favorite works of Khalil Gibran.

Though he is known for his grievous, yet captivating style of writing, but sometimes I would have liked his parables to not have a tragic ending. Maybe because I picked this book up right after I finished one of his other books, I thought some of the endings were getting monotonous, and hence unexciting.

I did thoroughly enjoy that aspect. I also loved the poem, The Countrymen.

They're all characteristically of a beautiful language - beautiful in the sense that they all seem a little too I suppose it's the writing style that dominates that part of the world? Nevertheless, the themes quite surprised me. I see here breaks in tradition, calls for change, intriguing endings.

Definitely not my favorite work by Gibran and I have adored all of what I've read by him. Although The Secrets of the Heart maintains the similar poetic language of Gibran's style of writing, I feel it was a bit lackluster in power and evocation. Much of these stories presented a similar call to action to renounce worldly possessions and embrace inner strength a theme prevalent throughout all his works howe Definitely not my favorite work by Gibran and I have adored all of what I've read by him.

Much of these stories presented a similar call to action to renounce worldly possessions and embrace inner strength a theme prevalent throughout all his works however, I felt that The Secrets of the Heart was a bit less convincing. I have reread all of the works I own by Gibran, but I have a feeling this one might sit a bit longer on the shelf. Aug 23, Neerad Kumar rated it really liked it. I like how he creates the mystic aura around the main character. His philosophy gives good perspective.

Nov 18, Jace Halter rated it it was amazing Shelves: Its a very old school poetry, which is really nice to read every now and then.
