Gibran's seems somewhat more "psychedelic" in nature than Shakespeare's,
& more egocentric. However, I do suppose there is some truth in it.

| Oneness, by Khalil Gibran
|
| All things in this creation exist within you;
| and all things in you exist in creation.
| There is no border between you and the closest things,
| and there is no distance between you and the farthest things,
| and all things from the lowest to the loftiest,
| from the smallest to the greatest,
| are within you as equal things.
|
| In one atom are found all the elements of the earth;
| in one motion of the mind are found the motions
| of all the laws of existence.
| in one drop of water are found the secrets of all the endless oceans;
| in one aspect of you are found all the aspects of existence.

| Full fathom five thy father lies,
| Of his bones are coral made;
| Those are pearls that were his eyes:
| Nothing of him that doth fade,
| But doth suffer a sea-change
| Into something rich and strange.
| Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
| Ding-dong.
| Hark! now I hear them, - ding-dong bell.
|
| William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
