The Prophet Kahlil Gibran

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessesed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart; but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let there be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Question:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protect, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."--1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Compare and contrast how the theme of love is treated in these two passages, one from "The Prophet" and the other from the New Testament. Give reasons to support your answer.
