Additional quotes by Henry van Dyke

A tear that trembles for a little while
Upon the trembling eyelid, till the world
Wavers within its circle like a dream,
Holds more of meaning in its narrow orb
Than all the distant landscape that it blurs.

I know that Europe’s wonderful, yet something seems to lack;
The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.

The mountain is voiceless and imperturbable; and its very loftiness and serenity sometimes make us the more lonely.

I'm only wishing to go a-fishing; For this the month of May was made. - Henry van Dyke
