Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the same well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the same well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

Khalil Gibran
Inspirational Love, Laughter, Wine
Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.

Khalil Gibran
Heart, Wine, Soul

The thirst of soul is sweeter than the wine of material things, and the fear of spirit is dearer than the security of the body.

Khalil Gibran
Fear, Wine, Soul
Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?

Khalil Gibran
Inspirational Love, Grief, Wine
Khalil Gibran (2014). “The Prophet - Der Prophet”, p.48, Lulu.com

O love, whose lordly hand Has bridled my desires, And raised my hunger and my thirst To dignity and pride, Let not the strong in me and the constant Eat the bread or drink the wine That tempt my weaker self. Let me rather starve, And let my heart parch with thirst, And let me die and perish, Ere I stretch my hand To a cup you did not fill, Or a bowl you did not bless.

Khalil Gibran
Strong, Heart, Wine
"'Love' ('The Forerunner')". Poem by Khalil Gibran, gutenberg.net.au. 1920.
