+                          SUNDAY AT HOME
+
+                      By Nathaniel Hawthorne
+
+
+
+Every Sabbath morning in the summer time I thrust back the curtain, to
+watch the sunrise stealing down a steeple, which stands opposite my
+chamber-window.  First, the weathercock begins to flash; then, a fainter
+lustre gives the spire an airy aspect; next it encroaches on the tower,
+and causes the index of the dial to glisten like gold, as it points to
+the gilded figure of the hour.  Now, the loftiest window gleams, and now
+the lower.  The carved framework of the portal is marked strongly out.
+At length, the morning glory, in its descent from heaven, comes down the
+stone steps, one by one; and there stands the steeple, glowing with fresh
+radiance, while the shades of twilight still hide themselves among the
+nooks of the adjacent buildings.  Methinks, though the same sun brightens
+it every fair morning, yet the steeple has a peculiar robe of brightness
+for the Sabbath.
+
+By dwelling near a church, a person soon contracts an attachment for the
+edifice.  We naturally personify it, and conceive its massive walls and
+its dim emptiness to be instinct with a calm, and meditative, and
+somewhat melancholy spirit.  But the steeple stands foremost, in our
+thoughts, as well as locally.  It impresses us as a giant, with a mind
+comprehensive and discriminating enough to care for the great and small
+concerns of all the town.  Hourly, while it speaks a moral to the few
+that think, it reminds thousands of busy individuals of their separate
+and most secret affairs.  It is the steeple, too, that flings abroad the
+hurried and irregular accents of general alarm; neither have gladness and
+festivity found a better utterance, than by its tongue; and when the dead
+are slowly passing to their home, the steeple has a melancholy voice to
+bid them welcome.  Yet, in spite of this connection with human interests,
+what a moral loneliness, on week-days, broods round about its stately
+height!  It has no kindred with the houses above which it towers; it
+looks down into the narrow thoroughfare, the lonelier, because the crowd
+are elbowing their passage at its base.  A glance at the body of the
+church deepens this impression.  Within, by the light of distant windows,
+amid refracted shadows, we discern the vacant pews and empty galleries,
+the silent organ, the voiceless pulpit, and the clock, which tells to
+solitude how time is passing.  Time,--where man lives not,--what is it
+but eternity?  And in the church, we might suppose, are garnered up,
+throughout the week, all thoughts and feelings that have reference to
+eternity, until the holy day comes round again, to let them forth.  Might
+not, then, its more appropriate site be in the outskirts of the town,
+with space for old trees to wave around it, and throw their solemn
+shadows over a quiet green?  We will say more of this, hereafter.
+
+But, on the Sabbath, I watch the earliest sunshine, and fancy that a
+holier brightness marks the day, when there shall be no buzz of voices on
+the exchange, nor traffic in the shops, nor crowd, nor business, anywhere
+but at church.  Many have fancied so.  For my own part, whether I see it
+scattered down among tangled woods, or beaming broad across the fields,
+or hemmed in between brick buildings, or tracing out the figure of the
+casement on my chamber-floor, still I recognize the Sabbath sunshine.
+And ever let me recognize it!  Some illusions, and this among them, are
+the shadows of great truths.  Doubts may flit around me, or seem to close
+their evil wings, and settle down; but so long as I imagine that the
+earth is hallowed, and the light of heaven retains its sanctity, on the
+Sabbath,--while that blessed sunshine lives within me,--never can my
+soul have lost the instinct of its faith.  If it have gone astray, it
+will return again.
+
+I love to spend such pleasant Sabbaths, from morning till night, behind
+the curtain of my open window.  Are they spent amiss?  Every spot, so
+near the church as to be visited by the circling shadow of the steeple,
+should be deemed consecrated ground, to-day.  With stronger truth be it
+said, that a devout heart may consecrate a den of thieves, as an evil one
+may convert a temple to the same.  My heart, perhaps, has not such holy,
+nor, I would fain trust, such impious potency.  It must suffice, that,
+though my form be absent, my inner man goes constantly to church, while
+many, whose bodily presence fills the accustomed seats, have left their
+souls at home.  But I am there, even before my friend, the sexton.  At
+length, he comes,--a man of kindly, but sombre aspect, in dark gray
+clothes, and hair of the same mixture,--he comes and applies his key to
+the wide portal.  Now my thoughts may go in among the dusty pews, or
+ascend the pulpit without sacrilege, but soon come forth again to enjoy
+the music of the bell.  How glad, yet solemn too!  All the steeples in
+town are talking together, aloft in the sunny air, and rejoicing among
+themselves, while their spires point heavenward.  Meantime, here are the
+children assembling to the Sabbath school, which is kept somewhere within
+the church.  Often, while looking at the arched portal, I have been
+gladdened by the sight of a score of these little girls and boys, in
+pink, blue, yellow, and crimson frocks, bursting suddenly forth into the
+sunshine, like a swarm of gay butterflies that had been shut up in the
+solemn gloom.  Or I might compare them to cherubs, haunting that holy
+place.
+
+About a quarter of an hour before the second ringing of the bell,
+individuals of the congregation begin to appear.  The earliest is
+invariably an old woman in black, whose bent frame and rounded shoulders
+are evidently laden with some heavy affliction, which she is eager to
+rest upon the altar.  Would that the Sabbath came twice as often, for the
+sake of that sorrowful old soul!  There is an elderly man, also, who
+arrives in good season, and leans against the corner of the tower, just
+within the line of its shadow, looking downward with a darksome brow.  I
+sometimes fancy that the old woman is the happier of the two.  After
+these, others drop in singly, and by twos and threes, either disappearing
+through the doorway or taking their stand in its vicinity.  At last, and
+always with an unexpected sensation, the bell turns in the steeple
+overhead, and throws out an irregular clangor, jarring the tower to its
+foundation.  As if there were magic in the sound, the sidewalks of the
+street, both up and down along, are immediately thronged with two long
+lines of people, all converging hitherward, and streaming into the
+church.  Perhaps the far-off roar of a coach draws nearer,--a deeper
+thunder by its contrast with the surrounding stillness,--until it sets
+down the wealthy worshippers at the portal, among their humblest
+brethren.  Beyond that entrance, in theory at least, there are no
+distinctions of earthly rank; nor indeed, by the goodly apparel which
+is flaunting in the sun, would there seem to be such, on the hither side.
+Those pretty girls!  Why will they disturb my pious meditations!  Of all
+days in the week, they should strive to look least fascinating on the
+Sabbath, instead of heightening their mortal loveliness, as if to rival
+the blessed angels, and keep our thoughts from heaven.  Were I the
+minister himself, I must needs look.  One girl is white muslin from the
+waist upwards, and black silk downwards to her slippers; a second blushes
+from topknot to shoe-tie, one universal scarlet; another shines of a
+pervading yellow, as if she had made a garment of the sunshine.  The
+greater part, however, have adopted a milder cheerfulness of hue.  Their
+veils, especially when the wind raises them, give a lightness to the
+general effect, and make them appear like airy phantoms, as they flit up
+the steps, and vanish into the sombre doorway.  Nearly all--though it is
+very strange that I should know it--wear white stockings, white as snow,
+and neat slippers, laced crosswise with black ribbon, pretty high above
+the ankles.  A white stocking is infinitely more effective than a black
+one.
+
+Here comes the clergyman, slow and solemn, in severe simplicity,
+needing no black silk gown to denote his office.  His aspect claims
+my reverence, but cannot win my love.  Were I to picture Saint Peter,
+keeping fast the gate of heaven, and frowning, more stern than pitiful,
+on the wretched applicants, that face should be my study.  By middle age,
+or sooner, the creed has generally wrought upon the heart, or been
+a-tempered by it.  As the minister passes into the church, the bell holds
+its iron tongue, and all the low murmur of the congregation dies away.
+The gray sexton looks up and down the street, and then at my
+window-curtain, where, through the small peephole, I half fancy that he
+has caught my  eye.  Now, every loiterer has gone in, and the street
+lies asleep in the quiet sun, while a feeling of loneliness comes over
+me, and brings also an uneasy sense of neglected privileges and duties.
+O, I ought to have gone  to church!  The hustle of the rising
+congregation reaches  my ears.  They are standing up to pray.  Could I
+bring my heart into unison with those who are praying in yonder church,
+and lift it heavenward, with a fervor of supplication, but no distinct
+request, would not that be the safest kind of prayer?  "Lord, look down
+upon me in mercy!"  With that sentiment gushing from my soul, might I
+not leave all the rest to Him?
+
+Hark!  the hymn.  This, at least, is a portion of the service which I
+can enjoy better than if I sat within the walls, where the full choir
+and the massive melody of the organ, would fall with a weight upon me.
+At this distance, it thrills through my frame, and plays upon my
+heartstrings, with a pleasure both of the sense and spirit.  Heaven be
+praised, I know nothing of music, as a science; and the most elaborate
+harmonies, if they please me, please as simply as a nurse's lullaby.
+The strain has ceased, but prolongs itself in my mind, with fanciful
+echoes, till I start from my revery, and find that the sermon has
+commenced.  It is my misfortune seldom to fructify, in a regular way, by
+any but printed sermons.  The first strong idea, which the preacher
+utters, gives birth to a train of thought, and leads me onward, step by
+step, quite out of hearing of the good man's voice, unless he be indeed
+a son of thunder.  At my open window, catching now and then a sentence
+of the "parson's saw," I am as well situated as at the foot of the
+pulpit stairs.  The broken and scattered fragments of this one discourse
+will be the texts of many sermons, preached by those  colleague
+pastors,--colleagues, but often disputants,--my Mind and Heart.  The
+former pretends to be a  scholar, and perplexes me with doctrinal
+points; the latter takes me on the score of feeling; and both, like
+several other preachers, spend their strength to very little purpose.
+I, their sole auditor, cannot always understand them.
+
+Suppose that a few hours have passed, and behold me still behind my
+curtain, just before the close of the afternoon service.  The hour-hand
+on the dial has passed beyond four o'clock.  The declining sun is hidden
+behind the steeple, and throws its shadow straight across the street, so
+that my chamber is darkened, as with a cloud.  Around the church-door all
+is solitude, and an impenetrable obscurity beyond the threshold.  A
+commotion is heard.  The seats are slammed down, and the pew-doors thrown
+back,--a multitude of feet are trampling along the unseen aisles,--and
+the congregation bursts suddenly through the portal.  Foremost, scampers
+a rabble of boys, behind whom moves a dense and dark phalanx of grown
+men, and lastly, a crowd of females, with young children, and a few
+scattered husbands.  This instantaneous outbreak of life into loneliness
+is one of the pleasantest scenes of the day.  Some of the good people are
+rubbing their eyes, thereby intimating that they have been wrapped, as it
+were, in a sort of holy trance, by the fervor of their devotion.  There
+is a young man, a third-rate coxcomb, whose first care is always to
+flourish a white handkerchief, and brush the seat of a tight pair of
+black silk pantaloons, which shine as if varnished.  They must have been
+made of the stuff called "everlasting," or perhaps of the same piece as
+Christian's garments in the Pilgrim's Progress, for he put them on two
+summers ago, and has not yet worn the gloss off.  I have taken a great
+liking to those black silk pantaloons.  But, now, with nods and greetings
+among friends, each matron takes her husband's arm, and paces gravely
+homeward, while the girls also flutter away, after arranging sunset walks
+with their favored bachelors.  The Sabbath eve is the eve of love.  At
+length, the whole congregation is dispersed.  No; here, with faces as
+glossy as black satin, come two sable ladies and a sable gentleman, and
+close in their rear the minister, who softens his severe visage, and
+bestows a kind word on each.  Poor souls!  To them the most captivating
+picture of bliss in heaven is--"There we shall be white!"
+
+All is solitude again.  But, hark!--a broken warbling of voices, and now,
+attuning its grandeur to their sweetness, a stately peal of the organ.
+Who are the choristers?  Let me dream that the angels, who came down from
+heaven, this blessed morn, to blend themselves with the worship of the
+truly good, are playing and singing their farewell to the earth.  On the
+wings of that rich melody they were borne upward.
+
+This, gentle reader, is merely a flight of poetry.  A few of the singing
+men and singing women had lingered behind their fellows, and raised their
+voices fitfully, and blew a careless note upon the organ.  Yet, it lifted
+my soul higher than all their former strains.  They are gone, the sons and
+daughters of music,--and the gray sexton is just closing the portal.  For
+six days more, there will be no face of man in the pews, and aisles, and
+galleries, nor a voice in the pulpit, nor music in the choir.  Was it
+worth while to rear this massive edifice, to be a desert in the heart of
+the town, and populous only for a few hours of each seventh day?  O, but
+the church is a symbol of religion!  May its site, which was consecrated
+on the day when the first tree was felled, be kept holy forever, a spot
+of solitude and peace, amid the trouble and vanity of our week-day world!
+There is a moral, and a religion too, even in the silent walls.  And may
+the steeple still point heavenward, and be decked with the hallowed
+sunshine of the Sabbath morn!

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
