The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

January 8

Were there but some deep, holy spell, whereby

Always I should remember thee—some mode

Of feeling the pure heat-throb momently

Of the spirit-fire still uttering this I!—

Lord, see thou to it, take thou remembrance' load:

Only when I bethink me can I cry;

Remember thou, and prick me with love's goad.
