Khalil Gibran

Silence, Envious, Noisy

Khalil Gibran “The New Frontier and Sand and Foam”, Library of Alexandria

My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear — a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee from my negligence. The "I" in me, my friend, dwells in the house of silence, and therein it shall remain for ever more, unperceived, unapproachable.

Khalil Gibran

Silence, House, Identity

Khalil Gibran (1918). “The Madman”, p.3, Library of Alexandria

Khalil Gibran
