The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

June 7

And hence it comes that thou at times dost seem

To fade into an image of my mind;

I, dreamer, cover, hide thee up with dream,—

Thee, primal, individual entity!—

No likeness will I seek to frame or find,

But cry to that which thou dost choose to be,

To that which is my sight, therefore I cannot see.
