Henry Van Dyke
Photography, Memories, Past

Memory is a capricious and arbitrary creature. You never can tell what pebble she will pick up from the shore of life to keep among her treasures, or what inconspicuous flower of the field she will preserve as the symbol of "thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears." . . . And yet I do not doubt that the most Important things are always the best remembered.

Life, Memories, Lying
Henry Van Dyke (2015). “Little Rivers”, p.68, eKitap Projesi

So in the heart, When, fading slowly down the past, Fond memories depart, And each that leaves it seems the last; Long after all the rest are flown, Returns a solitary tone,— The after-echo of departed years,— And touches all the soul to tears.

Memories, Heart, Past
Henry Van Dyke (1920). “The Poems of Henry Van Dyke”

Who can explain the secret pathos of Nature's loveliness? It is a touch of melancholy inherited from our mother Eve. It is an unconscious memory of the lost Paradise. It is the sense that even if we should find another Eden, we would not be fit to enjoy it perfectly nor stay in it forever.

Henry Van Dyke
Love, Mother, Memories
Henry Van Dyke (2015). “Little Rivers”, p.125, eKitap Projesi

For ever so our thoughtful hearts repeatOn fields of triumph dirges of defeat;And still we turn on gala-days to treadAmong the rustling memories of the dead.
