“There is no emotion in a human creature purer or sweeter than the hidden feeling that awakens to life unawares in the heart of a maiden to fill the emptiness of her breast with enchanting melodies and make her days like the poets’s dream and her nights like the prophet’s vision.”

(From Spirits Rebllious by Kahlil Gibran, 1883 – 1931)
