her heart lay a sense of loneli-ness... or — I shall say it plainly, after her heart said it many times without plainness — the mother in the girl hungered for motherhood and was tortured by deprivation... In the cry she flung at the dancing mother, diverted from her child... "Return and kneel before the cradle and beg the little one's forgiveness: nature made you a mother before society made you a lady"... in this cry we see May pre-ferring tenderness before a cradle to all the dances of the world... And in her saying, how sweet is the kiss of children and how sweet the taste of their smiles... or her saying, "I heard the child laugh and my ethereal soul quivered within my earthen body" — in these sayings and others we touch the hungering motherhood, returning again and again.

But one question haunts the mind: why did May never marry? They said she loved and was disappointed; they said and they said. Then the press came out before the public bearing May's letters to Gibran and his letters to her...

We are Easterners... — This sentence arrests the attention and makes us wonder... could this trifling obstacle stand, where love is concerned, in the path of a girl in love?... And would her parents really have opposed her traveling, and barred her from the happiness that was her happiness?... And Gibran — a man who knew his place, whose Arab homeland awaited him and to which he was bound to return... Or was it the girl's delicacy of feeling, her devotion to her parents and her knowledge of how deeply they clung to her, that made her put the thought to death

and fight her feeling?... Or did the conservative, great-souled girl refuse to be the one who went to the man she loved, and so insisted to him that travel was not possible

for her, meaning by it: if you wish it, then come yourself — and when he did not come, and when her parents died and longing and lone-liness overwhelmed her, she called
