The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

January 4

Death, like high faith, levelling, lifteth all.

When I awake, my daughter and my son,

Grown sister and brother, in my arms shall fall,

Tenfold my girl and boy. Sure every one

Of all the brood to the old wings will run.

Whole-hearted is my worship of the man

From whom my earthly history began.
