The Eye
BY
Khalil Gibran


Buy Khalil Gibran's Works



Said the Eye one day, "I see beyond these valleys a mountain veiled
with blue mist. Is it not beautiful?"

The Ear listened, and after listening intently awhile, said, "But
where is any mountain? I do not hear it."

Then the Hand spoke and said, "I am trying in vain to feel it or
touch it, and I can find no mountain."

And the Nose said, "There is no mountain, I cannot smell it."

Then the Eye turned the other way, and they all began to talk together
about the Eye's strange delusion. And they said, "Something must
be the matter with the Eye."
