The Prophet has an honored place in my collection, in written, audio and video form.

I'm also putting this here.
I know it's not a bible verse but I think it's important.

^ no, I haven't
I don't know if I would want to.
I've formed too much imagery in my own mind and I kinda like it that way.
Film adaptions can ruin it for me.

when you read the book, do you hear a "narration" in your mind's eye/ear?

^ it's a voice of love.
perhaps it is the voice of God.
It's certainly not my voice.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.
