Thanks for the post Gorzaloon.
A pleasure to finally remember it this far into the thread of posts. Gibran comes and goes, and had a big revival in the '70's.
His writings made a big difference to many aspects of my life.
To those who have not read him, websearch "Gibran on Love" and "Gibran on Friendship", or, better yet, pick up "The Prophet". There are copies everywhere in used bookshops, online, etc.
