Hurry and the prophet kahlil gibran love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. love possesses not nor would it be possessed; for love is sufficient unto love. when you love you should not say, ‘god is in my heart,’ but rather, ‘i am in the heart of god.’5 and think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. but if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: to melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.10 to know the pain of too much tenderness. to be wounded by your own understanding of love; and to bleed willingly and joyfully. to wake at dawn with a winged heart and give for another day of loving; to rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy; 15 to return home at eventide with gratitude; and then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. what is one generalization that can be made based on this poem? a) prophets usually possess an inaccurate perspective about love. b) love can be painful; only the strongest person should take the risk. c) loving others with an open heart can bring a person closer to the love of god. d) love is intoxicating, but ultimately illusory and must be rejected for maturity.
