The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

March 11

But shall I then rush to thee like a dart?

Or lie long hours æonian yet betwixt

This hunger in me, and the Father's heart?—

It shall be good, how ever, and not ill;

Of things and thoughts even now thou art my next;

Sole neighbour, and no space between, thou art—

And yet art drawing nearer, nearer still.
