The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

June 25

Oh, make my anger pure—let no worst wrong

Rouse in me the old niggard selfishness.

Give me thine indignation—which is love

Turned on the evil that would part love's throng;

Thy anger scathes because it needs must bless,

Gathering into union calm and strong

All things on earth, and under, and above.
