The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

March 9

Where should the unknown treasures of the truth

Lie, but there whence the truth comes out the most—

In the Son of man, folded in love and ruth?

Fair shore we see, fair ocean; but behind

Lie infinite reaches bathing many a coast—

The human thought of the eternal mind,

Pulsed by a living tide, blown by a living wind.
