I know the name Khalil Gibran from a few of his beautiful, complex, and profound writings… As for who he is, I know that he is Lebanese. It seems that’s all.
A book from Saengdao Publishing House of Mr. Charan Homthianthong, the latest volume has just arrived. “The Secret Love of Khalil Gibran” Just read the first chapter. Leading the story…so we know further. In addition to great writing He is a world-class painter.
And something that should be taken seriously: Who is Khalil Gibran?
Born January 6, 1883 in the village of Basari. Lebanon Parents are Christians Maronite sect
His father was a drunkard, uneducated farmer. She often quarrels and beats her children and wife. Mother Karilah Rahmi is the daughter of the village monk. A widow with a stepchild from her ex-husband. Has four children with new husband, including Khalil Gibran
Children of this family Growing up amid poverty, stress and bitterness from a drunken father and a hopeless mother, Gibran often retreated to drawing with pencil or charcoal. At the temple near the cave
1894 Gibran was 11 years old. His mother took him and his siblings to Chinatown, Boston, America, where they all went to work. Gibran, the only one to attend school, was 15 when he returned to Lebanon. Attend Beirut School
Learned Arabic, French, and writing. 1899 Returned to America. Dedicate time to drawing and writing. Not yet famous Can’t sell work Mother and siblings work Help take care of your stomach.
1902 Two brothers and their mother died, leaving his younger sister Marianna to care for him. During this time, Gibran met a young friend ten years his senior, Mary Haskell, a teacher who ran the family’s girls’ school.
The relationship of this couple It has just been revealed. After Gibran’s death (at the age of 48) from a series of letters he wrote.
“Mary, every time I try to get close to you, to talk to you, you keep moving away from me. It’s like you left me and went to a high place. Until I couldn’t reach it.”
So I replied to him, “We can be friends here. I don’t think they have to be a couple at all. I don’t want our beautiful friendship to be lost. Because of a love that doesn’t last forever.”
Relationship level that lasted during Gibran’s life…what kind of love was it? I recommend carefully considering the content. The secret love of Khalil Gibran in the book
In a letter Gibran wrote from New York on October 22, 1912, he described the world situation at that time to Mary:
War between Türkiye and states in the Balkans It is a conflict of different spirits. That is the civilized side. with the barbaric side
Rich and happy people They protested against the states in the Balkans. nascent Because they are afraid that “World peace will be destroyed.”
Which I see: Why do their people not have the right to destroy world peace with strange conditions?
They have suffered for a long time. with only one side of peace
I pray that God will inspire me. Let this war Divide the Turkish empire Nations in the Near East who have always been poor and oppressed will have a chance to open their eyes to him…
If we read this letter, we will know the depth of Gibran’s love. Leave it firmly with Patriotism, love of the human race The party being taken advantage of
and that exploitation If Gibran were reincarnated today For example, the Israeli-Palestinian war, he probably saw that It still exists as it did a hundred years ago.
