Full Poem:
Defeat, my Defeat, my solitude and my aloofness;
You are dearer to me than a thousand triumphs,
And sweeter to my heart than all world-glory.
Defeat, my Defeat, my self-knowledge and my defiance,
Through you I know that I am yet young and swift of foot
And not to be trapped by withering laurels.
And in you I have found aloneness
And the joy of being shunned and scorned.
Defeat, my Defeat, my shining sword and shield,
In your eyes I have read
That to be enthroned is to be enslaved,
And to be understood is to be leveled down,
And to be grasped is but to reach one’s fullness
And like a ripe fruit to fall and be consumed.
Defeat, my Defeat, my bold companion,
You shall hear my songs and my cries and my silences,
And none but you shall speak to me of the beating of wings,
And urging of seas,
And of mountains that burn in the night,
And you alone shall climb my steep and rocky soul.
Defeat, my Defeat, my deathless courage,
You and I shall laugh together with the storm,
And together we shall dig graves for all that die in us,
And we shall stand in the sun with a will,
And we shall be dangerous.

I hope you would like this poem too
That is the antithesis of what gibran is trying to say
victory is never remembered doesn't teach you anything other than rising your ego up a level and build a confidence without simplicity victory is shallow u wont get gibran not ur cup of tea
This has nothing to do with what he's saying.

Nice!
When you are defeated by life, these words pierce your heart like anything.
+This is true. And maybe you are partly meaning here, that it expands your view so that you can see what is happening through another lens of meaning.
Could somebody pls tell me what does " defeat, my defeat " mean? 🥺
I feel this way
@@nhessserrano3603”defeat, my defeat” I believe he is making it personal. Like how you would talk to your lover in a tender moment. “Lisa, my Lisa.”
What a poet. Incredible.
Let us all be dangerous.

Yes, let us stand in the sun, and let us be dangerous!
That always make me smile and smirk..in a all or nothing..joker way but also with that feeling of one more min in the ring of life
And let us stand peacefully resolute in the beauty of the rain.
very good ✋
"Defeat, my defeat.
My solitude and my aloneness..
My self-knowledge and defiance..
My shining sword and shield..
My bold companion..
My deathless courage.. "
Great motivational lines providing refreshing perspective n insight.Defeat is the springboard for future endeavours..it helps in unlocking one's potential n paving way for success despite odds..
And OMG, such a powerful voice!!
Defeating one's own ego makes one humble and rather respectful!
Exactly, makes for better people, love and Light 💖🙏🔥

@@davidgood7621 - mindboggling fact. Love it, great wordplay.
Your words were so beautiful.
Here in USA, & everyone is fighting. I'm so sad.....
Dade Pomsouvan ..exactly my thoughts. 👍🙏❤️
What a deep voice, vibrates inside my chest. Lovely reading 🥰
Poetry and arts are saving my sanity these days. Thank you
Blessings and love Pamela
"Defeat" is indeed the least likable word for people of social media age, yet it is one of the Most Powerful Poems I have ever heard today!
Yes
The value of defeat is being realised in being shown in socail media
Try anybody in any time period.
I've listened to this once a day everyday for the past year.
and what happened?
I learned from this: losing is liberating and brings humble hearts, once we accept it. Thanks Deknown
Ab X: And that, defeat is the best companion to be retained and not looked down upon with disgrace.
“Bred to a harder thing than Triumph...”
(W.B. Yeats, from “To a Friend Whose Work Has Come to Nothing”)
nice
Vivek Amar: This poem is all about encountering such experiences. Yours is too small an occurrence in deceit or whatever you would call it, to get accommodated in the expanse of these lines. Try to read or watch it at least 10 times and you would feel satisfied and shall overcome your gloomy feelings. Best of luck and prayers.
Vivek Amar: Please listen to the song from an old movie "Patita" having lyrics "hain sabse madhur woh geet jinhen, hum dard ke sur mein gaatey hain..." written by late Shailendra ji. Perhaps it might console you a tad.
I listen to this every once in a while, gives me hope for myself.
Defeat. The strongest foundation of life.
Well said
Every recitation feels as if it were a friend trying to help you go through with difficult times by sharing his thoughts with you.

Truth. Its when The Alighty holds one up to then become his warriors.solitude is love for all.
I love this quote
I can listen to gibran's poetry for my entire life without getting tired. He was indeed a man with great perspectives. He had an ability to express feelingz through word in a best way possible. His poetry is my comfort.❤️✨🖤
When Optimus Prime isn't saving the world he reads poetry
He's busy, I'm here in His stead ✝️🙏💜🌈

I have to get more of this ,so tomorrow I'm getting "The Prophet " at my local book store, what a better way to support all beauties of this world,and make sure they always stay with us for our kids and new generations that will come after we're long gone.
Did you get it,
@@jamesam003 next Monday they had to order , but I can wait , pleasure delayer.
It's an amazing read. Speaks to something deeper than the mind, deeper than logic and intellect. Enjoy, whenever you get it
Definitely a perspective changer. Never thought of defeat to be a friend... a gem of a poem for sure.
bbababonbon..bonfire! Who fails more than the genius, the inventor, the expert? Perfection requires defeat.
Yes reminds me of The Dark Night ifthe Soul
Sitting all alone,, feeling alone that the days forward seems darker by the day yet i laugh out loud in cue and nod in agreement but this gives me hope to endure..laugh more feel more and shut that dark quiet in me.
I am speechless. What a poem ! What a recitation! It just shaken the root of me.
I am finding solace in listening to this somehow. To embrace my humbled circumstance and yet... feel ennobled by the stripped-down immediacy of my experience, the doggedness of my soul to endure the burning of its own flame, the pluripotency of unencumbered being.
This one and "how did you die?" I think are some of the most beautifully spoken words I've ever heard.
The Heretic is also a beautiful poem.
@@pennypiper7382 I'll check it out

At 2:03 the voice modulation is phenomenal ❤️💫
"And none but you shall speak to me of the beating of wings"
This voice knows the art of pause, modulation, intensity, diction & articulation.
This is what a lion would sound like if it could speak.
Irba Ayani so true
Yeah, a bit like Aslan from Narnia.
The lion can speak. It is we who do not know how to listen.
You made my day with your comment
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel the savage ache of defeat acutely in these words. Thank God for those who go before us and sprinkle our paths with the flowers of wisdom they learned behind them...
I donno how to thank him for writing this...this poem is a masterpiece that shall live by,inspiring many like it did to me..
I have known this poem for nearly 2 years, and is still powerful everytime I listen to it. On days that I feel like fate has it out for me, and people are so cruel I listen to this. In my failures and misfortunes I listen to this. And when the shallow comforting of people seem to me like noise, I listen to this. Thank you sir for being here, for being the voice that can reach my freezing heart.
Kahlil Gibran was the key figure in a Romantic movement that transformed Arabic literature in the first half of the twentieth century
What I love about him is that he not only is a great Arabic poet, but a great American poet at the same time. He somehow picked up on the faint echoes of Semitic poetics in American culture which echoed through the centuries through the King James Bible, Milton, and revived that strain, made it sing out strong in a shockingly modern and fresh way. A meeting of two worlds.

The voice of my ancestors are as eternal as the dna we carry forward from the mouths of their spoken word. Wisdom and character impregnated through the journey of a thousand thousand souls. The lights that guide the way forward and the warriors that stand behind us. Thank you so much dear uncle for all the beauty and inspiration you have gifted to the world, and for the pride we feel in our hearts when your words are read and understood...Blessings.
I love this man voice,he rattled my heart and I was crying when he spoke and I felt I am walking in the beautiful forest and forgot every pain that I could suffer from it in this world
😭😭Defeat, my Defeat
My bold companion
That hit hard👏🏾
This poem is the quiet echo you never knew you needed during trying times... - Its the second wind you need as you age from boy to man and face new challenges - Absolutely 💯 Beautiful and inspiring
My childhood love.
His poetry on children totally freed me from limiting thoughts of parents- children relationship.
It was 1 page but oh so powerful.
I recommend him around.
@Shazia Hatoon in his book the prophet.
@Shazia Hatoon
Hey Love,
It's from the book, the Prophet ..
Copy pasted..
"Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable."
....
You can also google it.

OMG I have this book original print 1923.

That's why when I clicked on this and the poem started, I knew.
Yes! The Prophet is an absolutely faith, hope and love restoring book. I am truly fascinated by this amazing man's work. Hearing this poem makes me feel so great. God bless you.
Shane Morris really has the best possible voice for this purpose.
What a voice that recited this beautiful poem that brought me on the verge of crying.
What a golden voice! It really gives meaning to this beautiful poem.
Sir , this is the way of philosophy there is a deep huge space in poetry if it touches the soul how calm splendid it feel like real meaning of nothingness ✍✍✍
This is an ageless piece of legendary art.
Exactly!
Exactly
Gibran flips the script and channels Rumi in this beautifully read poem that embraces Defeat as a best companion
channels Rumi lol what a way to ruin smth so perfect
There will never be enough words to describe what this poem has done for me, and continues to do for me.
whoever is voicing this has an epic voice, never have i heard someone with this voice.
The poem is pretty epic too.
These words fall on me perfectly today. The more I surrender, the freer I feel.
Defeat, what a powerful life poetry by Khalil Gibran.
Truly, meaningful, powerful, and heart touching phrases, My Defeat.👍👍👍
A very powerfully recited.👍👍👍

Khalil Has Some Good Words Of Wisdom And Insight.
We learn the most from out “defeats” and It’s what we take away from it and how we pick our selves up and move on weathering the storm that matters
Beautiful! I used to have all of his books in my library and read regularly. His accompanying artwork was great as well, inspired by the spirit. I always hoped (and I'm not alone on this) that he would never be forgotten, so thank you!
Tagore and gibran...the beat poet world has ever produced what an insight..Man
A billion likes! I truly envy the voice.
That voice is like a thunder, though the only damage it causes is wakin' us up to deep knowledge and profound poetry. For those who haven't enjoyed another masterpiece by Kahlil Gibran, I recommend the animation - The Prophet. It keeps you glued to the screen to the last word.
Writings of gibran shaped my mind and soul. Love and lots of heart for choosing one of his.
These poems reach a whole new level with the regal voice of this man!
I am not afraid of being alone anymore.
The beauty in truly accepting defeat
Awesomely inspiring... the person that knows only victory and success, knows absolutely nothing.
Gibran was, and still is an underrated writer. Beautiful poem...and what a voice!
One of the most gravitating poem I've ever heard intertwined in such a modulated voice. I can't help myself from subscribing for more.
his voice is amazing, it made the poem more meaningful.
I've learned more from my failures than from any of my minor successes. In the end there are no winners. We all lose our lives whether we die rich or poor, alone or with many others.
I've have never read or heard this before. It may be about defeat and loneliness but its stoic, even hopeful. And beautifully read.
Gibran has a way with words that even famous and lauded authors seldom achieve. I remember to this day where I was the first time I read the Prophet... when I read of loving apart and how the oak and cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.. This poem evokes the same chills of awakening to a new perspective I had then. Thank you for this video.
Absolutely stunning voice, and equally stunning voice, the voice of an old lion, growling inside the den, voice that reverberates to your heart..
I have never been given more my defeat then anything else. Will and courage, this is a powerful thing.
Almost weeping whenever I hear this poetry!
I cry from my soul when this is read to me. Moving, is an understatement.
I can feel this voice reverberating deep in my chest.
Where there is defeat there was a battle. The reader of this poem knows how to impact with the intonation of his voice.
For me as someone who just gave up applying for a PhD, because I felt I couldn't make it, it was very relatable
Red Frost brings beauty and encouragement into the world. When my soul is thirsty, I listen and listen and listen to these poems. Thank you.
Thank you for taking an effort to put these contents. I love this channel. And please tell the gentleman that he has a magnificent voice.
I don't feel that they have disappeared, they are still alive in our hearts.. They will be forever..
I love listening to his poetry and voice !
👏🥺😥 strong, deeply, inspired... Honestly, I would give Khalil the Nobel Prize in Literature for this poem alone.
Developing one’s character through your video’s is really fulfulling! Thank you sir.
The baritone beauty of this reciter! Ah!!
Any watching in 2024

This has been in my downloads for 4 years. I come back to it everyonce and awhile
This is probably the best poem I've ever heard. Truly life-changing experience
This has touched the very molecule of my soul.
This is my favorite poem.
Oh Gibran is here! I love this channel already! Thank you for making my day! Already subscribed and looking forward to the gems.
“To be enthroned is to be enslaved
To be understood is to be levelled down
To be grasped is but to reach one’s fullness
And like a ripe fruit to fall and be consumed”🙌🏾
I can’t even begin to explain how much these lines alone have altered my perception, and the way I manoeuvre through this life.
Wow I must practice to read like this 👌🙏 the voice alone heals the soul whooooo so amazing 🔥
My Defeat brings me closer to myself and fills me with peace, gratitude and leaves me unrecognised ......I love dis aloofness so all by myself.
"To be understood is to be leveled down" My takeaway from this.
I will be listening this 1000 more time and yet there will be trust to soak myself in this glorious,magnificent poetry. Every time it opens new layer every time I listen like,rumi said.
And Shane Morris, I have fall in love with your lion's alike voice.
Love your voice. It truly moves me
One of my fav poems I revisit every now and then , giving nourishment to my soul.
Voice❤⚡🔥
We all have pains but only few of us with a gifted voice can only express our emotions.
I love this 💕 💕 💕 it's speaking the words of my soul right now 👏👏👏
Who is the great person who recited this!
Whoever you are hats off👏👏
My heart aches - the words are too close for comfort
I bought The Prophet by chance in Swedish translation 1988, and it appears, later on, I discovered what great prose poems. Thank you profoundly.
Defeat,my defeat -my bold companion,
My deathless courage 😊
I don’t know,why would i cry as i listen this poem?
that Beauitful if you Did , So Did i when i heard it first .
Incredible voice to incredible words🔥
This is not just a poem. It has so much wisdom on it. The first time I heard, I didn't quite get how wise it was. I think, only will fully understand that, who has been defeated and found out that it was the best thing that it could have happened.
Addicted to his voice❤
My favorite poet read by a voice unknown yet undoubtedly wise
