The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

July 15

Too eager I must not be to understand.

How should the work the master goes about

Fit the vague sketch my compasses have planned?

I am his house—for him to go in and out.

He builds me now—and if I cannot see

At any time what he is doing with me,

'Tis that he makes the house for me too grand.
