A lot is said about the love. And the broken wing deals with tragic side of it. It?s the love story of the Kahlil Gibran one of the greatest poet, philosopher of the century.
A broken wings is very simple and intensely poetic. The feeling of the Kahlil and Selma are so beautifully portrayed that my words won?t be able to do justice (I always find myself short of words) but the book arouses the feelings deep from your heart,
A broken wing is the tragic love story of the Kahlil. Kahlil falls in love with Selma at the tender age of eighteen, but they have to parted as circumstances forces Selma to marry the bishop?s nephew. The feeling of being in love, the trauma of separation, the understanding between two souls, the maturity of love everything is written is such a way that u can't put the book down.?. the book is full of emotions.
so some excerpts.
Solitude has soft, silky hands, but with strong fingers it grasp the heart and make it ache with sorrow.
HE who does not see the angels and devils in the beauty and malice of life will be far removed from knowledge, and his spirit will be empty of affection.
Selma?s beauty was not in her golden hair, but in the virtue and purity, which surrounded it; not in her large eyes, but in the light, which emanated from them; not in her red lips, but in the sweetness of her words; not in her ivory neck, but in its slight bow to the front. Nor was it in her perfect figure, but in the nobility of her spirit burning like a white torch between earth and sky. Her beauty was like a gift of poetry. But poets are unhappy people, for, no matter how high their spirits reach, they will still be enclosed in an envelope of tears.
Everything we see today, made by the past generations, was, before its appearance, a thought in the mind of a man or an impulse in the heart of a woman.
Silence separates us from ourselves, makes us sail the firmament of spirit and brings us closer to Heaven; it makes us feel that bodies are no more than prison and that this world is only a place of exile.
Selma, on that evening was like a cup full of heavenly wine concocted of the bitterness and sweetness of life.
Learn what the love is all about........
Highly recommended.
