I read this book in late 2012 or early 2013 at Ewing Hall.
I borrowed it from a friend. Sand and Foam is one the books of Gibran written
about impulse of man’s heart and mind. The themes which he addresses in the
book include travel, nirvana, faith, secrecy, traits of humans, children, knowledge,
youth, dissent, greed and indifference.
At one point he says: “If you reveal your secrets to the
wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees. Furthermore he states: “You cannot have youth and the knowledge
of it at the same time; for the youth is too busy living to know, and the
knowledge is too busy seeking itself to live”.
On equality Gibran is of the following view: “Should you sit upon a
cloud you would not see the boundary line between one country and another, not
the boundary stone between a farm and a farm. It is a pity you cannot sit upon
a cloud.
