Episode 789
In this episode, we’re continuing our series using selections from the poetry of George MacDonald. Today we’re reading October stanza 27 from “The Diary of an Old Soul.”
Take from me leisure, all familiar places;
Take all the lovely things of earth and air
Take from me books; take all my precious faces;
Take words melodious, and their songful linking;
Take scents, and sounds, and all thy outsides fair;
Draw nearer, taking, and, to my sober thinking,
Thou bring’st them nearer all, and ready to my prayer.
