The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

June 6

My God, when I would lift my heart to thee,

Imagination instantly doth set

A cloudy something, thin, and vast, and vague,

To stand for him who is the fact of me;

Then up the Will, and doth her weakness plague

To pay the heart her duty and her debt,

Showing the face that hearkeneth to the plea.
