However, in America his critical reception has been much more mixed.\nWhile the public loves his work, critics celebrate him far less than his contemporaries, such as Robert Frost.\nBut no one cares what elitist critics think. Beauty is a right, like air, water, and freedom of speech. Our tastes matter.\nIn this poem of paradoxes, Gibran discovers the joy in defeat, the flaws of victory, and his own potential for triumph, hiding in the unlikeliest of places.\nMay his masculine vision of the noble pursuit of purpose inspire us all.\nREAD \"DEFEAT\"\nhttps://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/58713/defeat-56d23d566b4c3\nPURCHASE BOOKS BY KAHLIL GIBRAN\n\"The Prophet\": https://amzn.to/3SPZxAf\"Jesus, Son of Man\": https://amzn.to/3QkYeHV\"Beloved Prophet\" by Virginia Hilu: https://amzn.to/3SGVWo1\nSPONSOR: The Renaissance of Men Coaching and Group\nIf you feel a call unheeded in your life, I understand.
