"A Syrian brought him to see me - can't even remember his name. Khalil always said I was his first friend in New York. We became very, very great friends, and all of his books - "The Madman", "The Forerunner", "The Son of Man", "The Prophet" - I heard in the manuscript. He always gave me his books. I liked "The Prophet" best. I don't believe that there was any connection between ʻAbdu'l-Bahá and "The Prophet". But he told me that he thought of the ʻAbdu'l-Bahá all through. He said that he was going to write another book with 'ʻAbdu'l-Bahá as the center and all the contemporaries of 'ʻAbdu'l-Bahá speaking. He died before he wrote it. He told me definitely that [the book] "The Son of Man" was influenced by 'ʻAbdu'l-Bahá."
