The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

January 6

Then shall I breathe in sweetest sharing, then

Think in harmonious consort with my kin;

Then shall I love well all my father's men,

Feel one with theirs the life my heart within.

Oh brothers! sisters holy! hearts divine!

Then I shall be all yours, and nothing mine—

To every human heart a mother-twin.
