The trees bathed their great heads in the waves of the morning, while their roots were planted deep in gloom; save where on the borders of the sunshine broke against their stems, or swept in long streams through their avenues, washing with brighter hue all the leaves over which it flowed; revealing the rich brown of the dacayed leaves and fallen pine-cones, and the delicate greens of the long grasses and tiny forests of moss that covered the channel over which it passed in the motionless rivers of light.
George MacDonaldThe best thing you can do for your fellow, next to rousing his conscience, is โ not to give him things to think about, but to wake things up that are in him; or say, to make him think things for himself.
George MacDonaldBut words are vain; reject them allโ They utter but a feeble part: Hear thou the depths from which they call, The voiceless longing of my heart.
George MacDonald
