The Grave-Digger
BY
Khalil Gibran


Buy Khalil Gibran's Works



Once, as I was burying one of my dead selves, the grave-digger came
by and said to me, "Of all those who come here to bury, you alone
I like."

Said I, "You please me exceedingly, but why do you like me?"

"Because," said he, "They come weeping and go weeping--you only
come laughing and go laughing."
