The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

November 18

But I must know thee in a deeper way

Than any of these ways, or know thee not;

My heart at peace far loftier proof must lay

Than if the wind thou me the wave didst roll,

Than if I lay before thee a sunny spot,

Or knew thee as the body knows its soul,

Or even as the part doth know its perfect whole.
