In this book, Gibran Khalil Gibran narrates the story of a pure, spiritual love between a boy and a girl, which goes beyond physical pleasure. It is an innocent love that is not tainted by sensuality, but it is a desperate love that does not come together until after death. In this work, Gibran oscillates between spirit and matter, sanctifying the spirit as a means of liberation from the slavery of the body, as he sees death as the way out to reach this liberation and transcend the shackles of the material world.
