The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

March 5

We make, but thou art the creating core.

Whatever thing I dream, invent, or feel,

Thou art the heart of it, the atmosphere.

Thou art inside all love man ever bore;

Yea, the love itself, whatever thing be dear.

Man calls his dog, he follows at his heel,

Because thou first art love, self-caused, essential, mere.
