Sand and Foam

Sand and Foam is a book length poetic work first published in 1926.


Much of Gibran's writings deal with Christianity, especially on the topic of spiritual love. But his mysticism is a convergence of several different influences : Christianity, Islam, Sufism, Hinduism and theosophy. His most famous work is The Prophet.


One of his most notable lines of poetry in the English-speaking world is from Sand and Foam, which reads: "Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it so that the other half may reach you". This line was used by John Lennon and placed, though in a slightly altered form, into the song "Julia" from The Beatles' 1968 album The Beatles (a.k.a. "The White Album").
