by Henry Van Dyke

Artaban hastens to join three fellow Magi for the long journey into Judaea, but he pauses to help a dying man and is left behind. And so Artaban began his pilgrimage alone, striking out not toward the realization of his life's deepest longing, as he had hoped, but only toward misfortune and suffering--or so he believes until one blessed, radiant ...

Spirit of Christmas

Spirit of Christmas more books like this

by Henry Van Dyke

[S]urely that need not and ought not to be the whole of Christmas-only a single day or generosity, ransomed from the dull servitude of a selfish year, -only a single night of merry-making, celebrated in the slave-quarters of a selfish race! If every gift is the token of a personal thought, a friendly feeling, an unselfish interest in the joy of ...

Out-Of-Doors in the Holy Land

Out-Of-Doors in the Holy Land more books like this

by Henry Van Dyke

Christianity is an out-of-doors religion. From the birth in the grotto at Bethlehem (where Joseph and Mary took refuge because there was no room for them at the inn) to the crowning death on the hill of Calvary outside the city wall, all of its important events too place out--of-doors. Except the discourse in the upper chamber at Jerusalem, all of ...

by Henry Van Dyke

A set of essays about life, the world, and living. About fishing, too (Henry Van Dyke had a passion for fishing). Here's the start of the eponymous essay: A river is the most human and companionable of all inanimate things. It has a life, a character, a voice of its own, and is as full of good fellowship as a sugar-maple is of sap. It can talk in ...

Fisherman's Luck more books like this

by Henry Van Dyke

There is good browsing among the leaves of the wood and the grasses of the meadow, as every well-instructed angler knows. The bright emerald tips that break from the hemlock and the balsam like verdant flames have a pleasant savour to the tongue. The leaves of the sassafras are full of spice, and the bark of the black-birch twigs holds a fine ...

The Valley of Vision more books like this

by Henry Van Dyke

Dreams have a part in most of these stories, because the author believes dreams have a part in real life. Some of them he remembers as vividly as any actual experience. These belong to the imperfect sleep. But others he does not remember, because they are given to him in that perfect sleep in which the soul is liberated, and goes visiting.

"If what you read here makes you wish to go to the Holy Land, I shall be glad; and if you go in the right way, you surely will not be disappointed.

The Ruling Passion more books like this

by Henry Van Dyke

In every life worth writing about there is a ruling passion, -- "the very pulse of the machine." Unless you touch that, you are groping around outside of reality. Sometimes it is romantic love: Natures masterpiece of interested benevolence. In almost all lives this passion has its season of empire. Therefore, and rightly, it is the favorite theme ...
