The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

July 19

Thou far!—that word the holy truth doth blur.

Doth the great ocean from the small fish run

When it sleeps fast in its low weedy bower?

Is the sun far from any smallest flower,

That lives by his dear presence every hour?

Are they not one in oneness without stir—

The flower the flower because the sun the sun?
