A minor text, almost a testament, where the theme of eternal pain transpires. The author seems to be seeking new freedom and the desire for independence is evident word after word. Suggestions and magical atmospheres make this book a literary jewel far from the clamor of the "Prophet" but equally extraordinary.

When My Sorrow Was Born
And When my Joy was Born
“The Perfect World”
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.
And I have found both freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.
But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief.
