The Diary of an Old Soul & the White Page Poems Quotes

“My prayers, my God, flow from what I am not;
I think thy answers make me what I am.”
― George MacDonald, The Diary of an Old Soul & the White Page Poems

“O Lord, I have been talking to the people;
Thought's wheels have round me whirled a fiery zone
And the recoil of my word's airy ripple
My heart unheedful has puffed up and blown.
Therefore I cast myself before thee prone:
Lay cool hands on my burning brain and press
From my weak heart the swelling emptiness.”
― George MacDonald, The Diary of an Old Soul & the White Page Poems
