A Birth-Day Wish

George MacDonald

Who know thee, love: thy life be such
That, ere the year be o'er,
Each one who loves thee now so much,
Even God, may love thee more!




Quotes of the Day

Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.
• Samuel Taylor Coleridge


Poems of the Day
  • Robert Frost
    Ghost House
    by Robert Frost
    I DWELL in a lonely house I know That vanished many a summer ago, And left no trace but the cellar walls, And a cellar in which the daylight falls, And the purple-stemmed wild raspberries grow.
