The Broken Wings - Khalil Gibran

The beautiful, tender and sad love story written by the Lebanese philosopher-writer is about his first true love. He falls hopelessly in love with Selma Karamy at the age of 18- love at first sight. Because of the socio-economic status quo, Selma marries another man. They manage to meet up occasionally , soon Selma departs from this world during child-birth  but not from Khalil's heart. Khalil with his poignant writing and beautiful imagery, has transformed a simple love story into a masterpiece.


''Oh Lord God, have mercy on me and mend my broken wings.''
