The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

January 25

Not in my fancy now I search to find thee;

Not in its loftiest forms would shape or bind thee;

I cry to one whom I can never know,

Filling me with an infinite overflow;

Not to a shape that dwells within my heart,

Clothed in perfections love and truth assigned thee,

But to the God thou knowest that thou art.
