The Earth Gods

Kahlil Gibran

2013 Reprint of English. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. With Illustrations reproduced from original drawings by the author. This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest poems in the language. The Earth Gods is, perhaps, a book for the mystic, a poet’s book for poets, for the initiate and the dreamer of vast dreams. Yet I have known those who pride themselves on being highly practical and feet-on-the-ground, who disown any bent toward the mystical and the occult, to pronounce it a book of wonder and power. And as a child of seven to whom I read portions of the poem on request, says unvaryingly, ‘Read it again!’ This, perhaps, for the music and the almost unearthly beauty of rhythm. -Barbara Young, in This Man From Lebanon: A Study of Kahlil Gibran
