Religion
December 23, 1879: IV
From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 2
Religion
Now what is nearest?--My conscious self. Here I sit quiet and say:
"Lo, I myself am already a house of poetry solemn and gay!
But, alas, the windows are shut, all shut: 'tis a cold and foggy day,
And I have not now the light to see what is in me the same alway!"
