Explore "The Valley of Vision" by Henry Van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There was a Boy in Nazareth long ago whose after-life was wonderful, / and whose story is written in the heart of mankind. His birth was / predicted in dreams foretelling marvellous things of him, and in / later years there were many true visions wherein he played a wondrous / part.
Did he not also dream, in the days of his youth, while he was growing / in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man? It would be / strange indeed if his boyhood was not often visited and illumined / by those swift flashes of insight and clear unveilings of hidden / things, which we call dreams but which are in truth rays from "the / fountain light of all our day."
