 His poetry is the result of spending too much time etching copper

+Kahlil Gibran is fairly interesting; his earlier works do not agree
+with my æsthetic sense (blah blah), but *The Madman* onward are all
+rather nice. So far I've read *A Tear and a Smile* (not so good
+excepting the last poem), *The Madman*, *The Prophet* (both excellent),
+and *Sand and Foam* (an interesting little book of aphorisms). A few of
+his works are [[http://leb.net/~mira/][online]], but I recommend scouting used book stores for
+old hardcover editions. The (late 90s onward at least) *hardcover*
+versions from *Alfred A. Knopf* are in fact permabound paperbacks with a
+hardcasing, and are of seriously inferior quality to the editions from
+the 50s and 60s (and cost quite a bit more, naturally).
