Thank you for lifting my spirits! "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." I love the fox; I can relate to him. "The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat..."
I feel that same way when I have read some of George MacDonald's words. What a gift to arrange words so beautifully.
