The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

June 18

To some a mocking demon, that doth set

The poor foiled will to scoff at the ideal,

But loathsome makes to them their life of jar.

The messengers of Satan think to mar,

But make—driving the soul from false to feal—

To thee, the reconciler, the one real,

In whom alone the would be and the is are met.
