Blue Flame: The Love Letters of Kahlil Gibran to May Ziadah
الشعلة الزرقاء
Gibran's letters to the writer May Ziadeh (1912–1931), edited in Arabic by Salma Haffar Kuzbari and Suheil Bushrui in 1979 and translated into English in 1983. They document a literary and amorous relationship sustained only in writing, in which Gibran speaks frankly of his work, his loneliness and his health.
