The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

August 14

Thou carest more for that which I call mine,

In same sort—better manner than I could,

Even if I knew creation's ends divine,

Rousing in me this vague desire of good.

Thou art more to me than my desires' whole brood;

Thou art the only person, and I cry

Unto the father I of this my I.
