Religion
December 23, 1879: I
From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 2
Religion
A thousand houses of poesy stand around me everywhere;
They fill the earth and they fill my thought, they are in and above the
air;
But to-night they have shut their doors, they have shut their shining
windows fair,
And I am left in a desert world, with an aching as if of care.
