'On Children' - Fine Art Print

Inspired by the poet Kahlil Gibran's poem 'On Children', this print is an exploration of the relationship between parent and child.

Hand illustrated and painted by Forivor's Alice Ruby Ross, this delicate depiction contemplates Gibran's beautiful poem.

'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.'

'On Children' by Khalil Gibran

This Giclée artwork is printed onto the finest Hahnemühle German etching paper by specialist fine art printers in the UK.

Each print feels like it has been painted and makes the perfect gift for both parents and children alike.
