The Meaning of Love - a photo on Flickriver

            
"On Love" from "The Prophet" by Kahil Gibran.
Published in 1923 after languishing for 4 years until every word on every page was the best he had to give, this book is considered to be Gibran's Masterpiece.

The Story
Almustafa, (the Prophet) waited 12 years for his ship to come in to return him to his homeland. But in those years spent in the city of Orphalese, he had become beloved, worshipped and esteemed by the citizens for his wisdom and philosophies.

Now his ship had come in, and the citizens gathered to plead for him to stay. The seeress, Almitra, who was the first to believe in him, knew that he must return. 

But she entreated him to speak and give the citizens his truths as such: "And we will give it unto our children, and they unto their children, and it shall not perish. In your aloneness you have watched with our days, and in your wakefulness you have listened to the weeping and the laughter of our sleep. Now therefore disclose us to ourselves, and tell us all that has been shown you of that which is between birth and death."

'Then, said Almitra,' "Speak to us of Love."

Happy Valentine's Day
