Religion

The Donkey in the Cart to the Horse in the Carriage: III

by George MacDonald 1824–1905

From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 2

Religion

You need not whisk your stump, nor turn away your nose;
Poor donkeys ain't so stupid as rich horses may suppose!
I could feed in any manger just as well as you,
Though I don't despise a thistle--with sauce of dust and dew!
