The man in the shop was very old and broken. When I put down the money, he pushed it feebly away. “No, no,” he said vaguely. “I never have. We are rather old-fashioned here.” “Good heavens!” I said. “What can you mean? Why, you might be Father Christmas.” “I am Father Christmas,” he said apologetically. “The Shop Of Ghosts” first appeared in London’s Daily News. It later appeared in G.K. Chesterton’s collection of stories and essays, Tremendous Trifles (1909).

A veces he pensado que sería muy bueno tener una casa normal, una casa común y corriente en West Kensington, por ejemplo, y convertirla en algo simbólico. No es algo de tipo artístico, cielos, Dios no lo quiera. Me hierve la sangre cuando pienso en las afrentas que hacen tantos torpes artistas ilustrados a las formas sólidas, dignas, honradas, feas y pacientes de las cosas que son necesarias, a esos valiosos y antiguos cimientos de la vida.

If I ever go back to Baltimore,The City of Maryland,I shall miss again as I missed beforeA thousand things of the world in store,The story standing in every doorThat beckons on every hand. I shall not know where the bonds were riven,And a hundred faiths set free,Where a wandering cavalier had givenHer hundredth name to the Queen of Heaven,And made oblation of feuds forgivenTo Our Lady of Liberty.

If the stars fell; night’s nameless dreamsOf bliss and blasphemy came true,If skies were green and snow were gold,And you loved me as I love you;O long light hands and curled brown hair,And eyes where sits a naked soul;Dare I even then draw near and burnMy fingers in the aureole? Yes, in the one wise foolish hourGod gives this strange strength to a man. He can demand, though not deserve,Where ask he cannot, seize he can.

I am a great fan of G.K. Chesterton, but I don’t recall ever reading this poem of his until last year. Though it is an old-style rhyming poem, it really moved me. Merry Christmas to you and your family. —Randy
The House of Christmas
by G.K. Chesterton
There fared a mother driven forthOut of an inn to roam;In the place where she was homelessAll men are at home.

Cuando Jerusalén había pasado dos o tres días semienterrada en la nieve, le señalé a un amigo que yo estaba preparado para justificar, de allí en adelante, todas las postales de Navidad. Las postales que espolvorean Belén con nieve son generalmente miradas por los entendidos meramente como vulgares mentiras. En el mejor de los casos las consideran ficciones populares, como la que hace hablar a los pastores del pesebre viviente en un rústico dialecto de Somerset.

"Los cuentos de hadas hacen que los ríos corran con vino solo para hacernos recordar, por un salvaje momento, que corren con agua"“El béisbol tiene historias de todos los calibres, pero la que cuenta ahora Víctor García Sued, honorable presidente de las Aguilas Cibaeñas, sobre un bate negro utilizado en el Todos contra Todos por Emilio Bonifacio, de los Tigres del Licey, le respondo con esta pregunta: ¿Sabías que hay más aviones en el océano que submarinos en el cielo?
