| 520 | _a"Little Rivers: A Book of Essays in Profitable Idleness" by Henry Van Dyke is a collection of reflective essays written in the late 19th century. The work explores the beauty and tranquility found in nature, particularly focusing on the joys of rivers and idleness. Throughout the essays, the author delves into themes of leisure, companionship with nature, and the simple pleasures that can be experienced alongside flowing waters. At the start of the book, Van Dyke sets a serene tone with a poetic prelude that expresses a longing for fishing and the peace that nature provides. He eloquently describes the various personalities of rivers, comparing them to human companionship with their unique voices and characteristics. The opening paints a vivid picture of the author's appreciation for the little rivers that symbolize the joys of quiet contemplation, the thrill of fishing, and the intimate connections that can be formed both with the natural world and with those who share these experiences.
