What has been, shall not only be, but is,
The hues of dreamland, strange and sweet and tender
Are but hint-shadows of full many a splendour
Which the high Parent-love will yet unroll
Before his child's obedient, humble soul.
Ah, me, my God! in thee lies every bliss
Whose shadow men go hunting wearily amiss.
- George MacDonald, Diary of an Old Soul, 1880, public domain, entry from April 5.
Thanks for looking!
