Gibran is wonderful -- but there are so many great poets. I mostly favor the romantics. If pressed i would say T.S Eliot.
My daughter recently gave me a coffee mug with a TS eliot quote "I have mesured out my life in coffee spoons", from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. I means a great deal to me. Hmm can you guess I was a lit major?
