The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

August 20

If I have to forget thee, do thou see

It be a good, not bad forgetfulness;

That all its mellow, truthful air be free

From dusty noes, and soft with many a yes;

That as thy breath my life, my life may be

Man's breath. So when thou com'st at hour unknown,

Thou shalt find nothing in me but thine own.
