"...Today, after many years have passed, I have nothing left out of that beautiful dream except painful memories flapping like invisible wings around me, filling the depths of my heart with sorrow, and bringing tears to my eyes; and my beloved, beautiful Selma, is dead and nothing is left to commemorate her except my broken heart and tomb surrounded by cypress trees. That tomb and this heart are all that is left to bear witness of Selma. The silence that guards the tomb does not reveal God's secret in the obscurity of the coffin, and the rustling of the branches whose roots suck the body's elements do not tell the mysteries of the grave, by the agonized sighs of my heart announce to the living the drama which love, beauty, and death have performed..."

Gibran was born in 1883 as a child of a Maronite family in the Lebanon Governorate under the control of the Ottoman Empire. He immigrated to the USA with his family and siblings in 1895. He attended school in the city of Boston while his mother worked as a seamstress. Noticing Gibran's creativity, his teacher introduced him to photographer and publisher F. Holland Day. Gibran was sent back to his hometown by his parents at the age of fifteen to enroll at the Collège de la Sagesse in Beirut. In 1904, Gibran's drawings were exhibited for the first time at Day's studio in Boston, and his first book in Arabic was published in New York in 1905. Gibran studied art in Paris from 1908 to 1910, with the financial help of his newly met philanthropist Mary Haskell. While there, he met Syrian political thinkers who supported rebellion in the Ottoman Empire after the Young Turk Revolution; Some of Gibran's writings, expressing the same ideas as well as anticlericalism, would eventually be banned by the Ottoman authorities. His works and thoughts had a wide impact around the world. Gibran, whose poems have been translated into more than twenty languages, was also a successful painter. Some of his paintings are exhibited in many cities around the world today. The author, who spent the last twenty years of his life in the USA, wrote his works in English in this country, where he stayed until his death. One of Khalil Gibran's most famous works, Nebi, which was first published in 1923, is a book of mixed poetry essays consisting of a total of 26 poems. The book itself consists of the story of a prophet named El Mustafa being stopped by a group of people when he was about to leave the city of Orphalese, where he stayed for 12 years, and going home, and the conversations between the main hero and the people about the general situation of humanity and life. The name given by Gibran to the person named El Mustafa in this book is the Prophet Muhammad. There are those who claim that it points to Muhammad. However, the texts in the book mostly show similarities and parallels in terms of content and style with Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, which takes place in the 5th chapter of the Gospel according to Matthew. If the studies in the author's book titled Jesus, Son of Man are taken into consideration, the claims that El Mustafa could be Jesus Christ, Son of Mary, become even stronger. The Garden of the Saint is the sequel to Khalil Gibran's book The Saint. Its translation into Turkish was made by R.Tanju Sirmen. Publication year 1999.
