when love beckons to U

Salam to all Pals old and new

what we'll have today
some lovely words written by Kahlil Gibran
I liked them and i wanna sharing it with u

***

When love beckons to you, follow him
Though his ways are hard and steep
And when his wings enfold you yield to him
Though the sword hidden among his pinions
May wound you
And when he speaks to you believe in him
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
As the north wind lays waste the garden
For even as love crowns you
So shall he crucify you
Even as he is for your growth
So is he for your pruning
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses
Your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun
So shall he descend to your roots and
Shake them in their clinging

Thanx
for being around

yours
Ghassan

Recently, i have just learned a new thing about Khalil Jebran. I remeber that i read also a topic was posted by one of the members here and it was also a poem about Jibran Khalil. At first, i thought that the poem was translated and i was wondering how many poems for Jibran were translated.. Actually, what i learned about jibran that he is one of the Arab writers who wrote in English and there is a termenology is used to call this group of writers...

Thnaks Gassan for sharing us this lovely poem and I wish if you have the chance to share with us some more information about this great writer.. It is really good to learn about these freat writers

MAy i have the chance to answer your question and I hope I will be lucky to give you the right answer

In ENglish literature, there is a method called PERONIFICATION and poets use this method to personify things in order to make their poems stronger.. So, in this Poem, Kahlil personifies the Love as a human by refering to him by HE>>

I hope that you get my point

I will try inshallag to search for a poem which has this example so it could easy for you

see you later

Hi dear the Ghost

I didnt translate it....but

As known in our Arabic literature especially at poetry, they assimilate unwise things, materials

etc… as they are a human thinks, talks, have feeling "as scream said"

Therefore, it's not a surprise if we see it in English literature.

Sorry I have not notice your question

Many thanx to scream.

Ghassan
