The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

August 25

Ah, no! for from thy heart the love will press,

And shining from thy perfect human face,

Will sink into me like the father's kiss;

And deepening wide the gulf of consciousness

Beyond imagination's lowest abyss,

Will, with the potency of creative grace,

Lord it throughout the larger thinking place.
