Wanderer : The First Book of the Beirut Quartet
Forget not that I shall come back to you. A little while, and my longing shall gather dust and foam for another body. A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me. So wrote the Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) in his masterpiece The Prophet, a book in continuous print since 1923, read and loved my millions in over 27 languages.Wanderer sets forth the proposition that Gibran was good at his word: he did return, in the person of Paul Crawford.
