Nice entry, I'm now a little more familiar with the man and "The Prophet", but I also recall it was popular with the 60's counterculture. Some Googling found some interesting items.
A self portrait:

A photo of his memorial in Washington, D.C.:

"['The Prophet's'] popularity among adherents of 1960s counter culture inspired a parody, The Profit by 'Kehlog Albran', which furnished a number of quotations for the Unix fortune program."

All great works inspire good parodies ...

Thank you Wilma for this lovely insight into the life of Kahlil Gibran,
and thank you Steve K. for the photo links. I love to start my morning
with happy tears. I loved "The Prophet" so much that I bought 2 more
Gibran books for my shelves. I'm still an evolving dinosaur stepping
from books into electronic media. You're futuristic heroes. Thanks!
