A World Perspective
Although I agree with Maya Angelou about the inappropriate paraphrasing of the "drum major" quotation, this quotation makes sense to me.

Kahlil Gibran's Birthday

Thank you to Garrison Keillor http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/ for reminding listeners that today is the birthday of artist-poet Kahlil Gibran. Someday I would like to visit the neighbor in Boston's South End where he lived with his mother after immigrating at age 8 from Bsharri in Lebanon. Gibran died in 1931, famous for many works. See, e.g., http://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/gibrn.htm
