Absolutely. I put "The Prophet" aside and forget for a while, then when I pick it up, I'm amazed all over again. Also interesting to see what I marked at different times of my life ; )

Rumi was a Sufi who lived in the 1200's. He founded the order of dervishes known as the Whirling Dervishes. And the man knew his stuff when it came to love. Google a little and sample some. I think he wrote 10's of 1000's of poems, and some are so beautiful they can make you cry. And some are so salty, down-to-earth they'll make you (well, someone...) blush. And funny. All kinds of good stuff.
