The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

November 26

But when the Will hath learned obedience royal,

He straight will set the child upon the throne;

To whom the seen things all, grown instant loyal,

Will gather to his feet, in homage prone—

The child their master they have ever known;

Then shall the visible fabric plainly lean

On a Reality that never can be seen.
