" The heart of the mystic East emerges from this work by the celebrated author of The Prophet, and from the outset one feels the tremendous mood, the electrifying boldness, the terrible magnetism of the immortal Gibran. Although these writings appear to be autobiographical in nature, they clearly reveal Gibran as a prophet of penetrating vision and objective understanding. He warns ominously of the grave and unseen dangers yet to befall this world on its stormy path of intrigue, maladjustment, and border consciousness. On the religious side, he displays a brilliance of spiritual insight and a determination of dedication that persist and probe until they pierce the outer self. "

" Secrets of the Heart has been translated from the Arabic by Anthony Rizcallah Ferris, who is himself a native of Lebanon and is a distinguished Gibran scholar. "

" Martin L. Wolf, editor of this volume, and an accomplished author in his own right, has contributed a sensitive, perceptive introduction. "
