The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

September 20

Who trusts a law, might worship a god of wood;

Half his soul slumbers, if it be not dead.

He is a live thing shut in chaos crude,

Hemmed in with dragons—a remorseless head

Still hanging over its uplifted eyes.

No; God is all in all, and nowhere dies—

The present heart and thinking will of good.
