The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

October 11

'Tis that I am not good—that is enough;

I pry no farther—that is not the way.

Here, O my potter, is thy making stuff!

Set thy wheel going; let it whir and play.

The chips in me, the stones, the straws, the sand,

Cast them out with fine separating hand,

And make a vessel of thy yielding clay.
