The Madman

Khalil Gibran

You ask me how I became a madman.
It happened thus: One day, long
before many gods were born, I
woke from a deep sleep and found
all my masks were stolen,—the
seven masks I have fashioned an
worn in seven lives,—I ran
maskless through the crowded
streets shouting, “Thieves,
thieves, the cursed thieves.”
Men and women laughed at me and
 some ran to their houses in
fear of me. And when I reached
the market place, a youth
standing on a house-top cried,
“He is a madman.” I looked up
to behold him; the sun kissed
my own naked face for the first
time. For the first time the
sun kissed my own naked face
and my soul was inflamed with
love for the sun, and I wanted
my masks no more. And as if in
a trance I cried,“Blessed,
blessed are the thieves who
stole my masks.” Thus I became
a madman.
