On friendship (Gibran)

Your friend is your needs answered.
When he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
for without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires,
all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
for that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence.

Il vostro amico è il vostro bisogno saziato.
Quando lui tace il vostro cuore non smetta di ascoltarlo,
perché nell’amicizia ogni pensiero, desiderio, speranza
nasce nel silenzio e si partecipa con gioia.
Se vi separate dall’amico non addoloratevi,
perché la sua assenza vi illumina su ciò che più in lui amate.


G. K. Gibran
