---

The curriculum was not challenging to Gibran and he ordered it tailored to his specifications. The teachers complied, and Gibran immersed himself in the Arabic language bible. He finished college in , after learning Arabic, French, and excelling in poetry. He returned to the U. Upon his return, Gibran was forced to take over control of the family business when both his mother and brother became ill as well. All three family members died and Gibran sold the business and put all of his focus on his poetry and improving his Arabic and English.

On May 3, , Gibran hosted his first art exhibit, which featured his allegorical and symbolic charcoal drawings. The show was a great success, but not only because his work was well received, but because he also met Mary Haskell. Mary would go on to fund Gibran's artistic development for nearly his entire life. She also encouraged him to write in English, no longer translating his writings from Arabic. His first publication was entitled "Vision," a romantic essay. His first Arabic book was called "Music," inspired by the Opera and published in Gibran then started writing a column in the newspaper called "Teas and Laughter" which would later form the basis for his book "A Tear and a Smile.

His third Arabic book was published in ; a collection of four narratives based on his writings on the social issues in Lebanon. And again, one year after: Ford collected celebrities as some people collect postage stamps. It is very probable that Gibran, who always accepted Mrs.

It consists of correspondence, writings, scrapbooks, printed material, photographs and other papers documenting aspects of her life and work, and her relationships with literary and artistic igures of the early 20th century. Said collection also includes the same mentioned picture kept by the Soumaya Museum, or better, one of its copies owned by Mrs. Ford with some handwritten annotations by her: We all motored from NY to Rye that day.

Gene took the picture.

Ford and Gibran in an undetermined place, both posing smiling, standing outdoors on a sunny day at the stairs leading to the veranda of a house. Another similar case can be traced only in a recently found photograph which is part of the Faris and Yamna Naf Arab-American Collection, Smithsonian Institution, Archives Center, National Museum of American History,43 whose discovery was announced in by Australian ilmmaker and researcher Glen Kalem on his Gibran Collective webpage: Francesco Medici, an international Gibran scholar […] has unearthed a rare photograph of Gibran lost in a private collection […].

Men and women can be seen seated at several banquet tables in a large room at the Hotel Tuller, there is a small band on stage at the far end of the room and Gibran is seated just left of the stage. But I shall try to return [to New York] as soon as possible. To ind unpublished material we have to look above all at his many letters.

This is a transcription of the poem, whose title has been purely given as an indication: Yet lightless is my day and songless. Even as yesterday The wind dances upon the hills And the bay trees and the lilies Melt tenderly into space Today, Yet my heart breathless is throbs my day and Even as yesterday scentless.

Yet here it lies in a coin as dead. The hours beat the muled drums And memory, half dumb, Speaks the funeral oration. And regret is digging the grave. O love, you who walk the earth in search of life Lay your hand again upon my heart And say it is not dead. Disperse these mourners And let me rise again To walk with you Even as yesterday. Felix recorded his impressions of Gibran in his journal and, when his friend died, he published in Lebanon excerpts from them and exchanged letters. When Felix returned to Lebanon, he received from Kahlil this untitled manuscript: From the merciless waves of fear, And then to prison and despair!

Is this what I sought, my Salwa, When I left you and my home? And behold me now, in a night Whose ears are deaf to my cries, Whose eyes are blind unto my grief. But what if my morn should come? And the star of my morn should rise? What would they bring save a memory To a heart over-burdened with memories? O my thoughts, my stricken thoughts, Fly not towards my homeland, And enter not into my house, Lost, you touch with your dark wings The sleep-veiled eyelids of my mate.

He never saw Gibran again, and kept the manuscript safe as a precious relic of the great man and poet. Until then we did not know that it is necessary to show all applications for subscription, therefore, all we received up to that time were destroyed. We, however, have shown all received since applying. We trust that we have satisfactorily explained all that might seem unusual. Al-Atlantic Publishing Co per57— Gibran authored many relevant contributions in the journal, both as an artist and a poet, publishing several drawings and writings. This is demonstrated also by an early two-page document in English, a sort of draft table of contents of the issue, probably typed by Aridah when his review was just an embryonic project: An Arabic Garment for The Prophet: Below are some of their more signiicant passages: This is the reason why I ask you… rather, I implore you to grant it a vast space in the garden of your attention.

I will return to New York after a few days and will search my library for the books that I deem advisable to translate into Arabic and will inform you. In my judgment, the translator is a creator, whether people acknowledge this or not. As far as I am concerned, the most deserving of all people to write the introduction is you because he who spends days translating a book from one language to another is certainly the most knowledgeable of all people about the merits and shortcomings of that book.

This is my opinion. However, I ask that you please do what you wish concerning the introduction and the excerpts from the American newspapers. The following are the titles of the books that I would like you to examine or translate should your days and nights permit: Try to obtain these books.

Then choose for yourself what appeals to you. All I can say to you now about the small book is that it has just reached its tenth edition and that it has been translated into ten European languages rather to eleven languages and into Japanese and Hindi, among the Eastern Languages, and there are more yet to come.

As for the opinion of other people on the small book, from Word Wilson to the best English poet, to the most famous French writer, to Gandhi, the Indian, to the simplest laborer, to the wife and mother, the response has been something I have not expected or even imagined at all. This is why I sometimes ind myself embarrassed to face the afection of the people and their generosity. Unexpectedly, curator and librarian Julia Hilgard Ritter sent me some high-deinition color reproductions of all the letters, which I might include, at least partially, in that publication of mine.

Like many Lebanese immigrants, he started his life in the southern states as a peddler, but soon he rose to prominence as a lawyer in Boston, where he moved in and where he met Gibran.

In he married Hanny Malouf and in he became an American citizen. In Faris and Gibran decided to become associates and invest their savings in buying a large building in Boston, at Marlborough Street. The intricate and unfortunate story of their enterprise is well summarized by Suheil Bushrui in his biography of Gibran: The venture began to fail when they discovered that they were unable to raise the money. By October he was forced to admit that his project had failed. But who were the previous private owners of the building? And whom did Gibran and Faris have to resell it to?

When I asked Charles these questions, he promptly answered: McClary, wife of Walter P.
