A blue flower was a central symbol of inspiration for the Romanticism movement, and remains an enduring motif in Western art today. It stands for desire, love, and the metaphysical striving for the infinite and unreachable. It symbolizes hope and the beauty of things.

The Blue Flower, by Henry Van Dyke, is a magical, wanderlust book. It is filled with nine stories of varying length. Even in an antique store of a thousand book, this one stood out. Each story is an adventure, though small, that contributes to the meaning of the blue flower 

In today's writing and life, symbols are often a lost art, this book revives one of the less known ones. Though only one story is by Henry Van Dyke himself, all showcase beautiful description that is sure to intrigue the eloquent mind. Even so, not all stories deem very exciting, but some do gain at least one sense of "the blue flower": a desire/strive for something unknown or unreachable.
