The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

August 29

Sometimes it seems pure natural to trust,

And trust right largely, grandly, infinitely,

Daring the splendour of the giver's part;

At other times, the whole earth is but dust,

The sky is dust, yea, dust the human heart;

Then art thou nowhere, there is no room for thee

In the great dust-heap of eternity.
