“The
heart of man cannot hoard. His brain or his hand may gather into its box and
hoard, but the moment the thing has passed into the box, the heart has lost it
and is hungry again. If a man would have,
it is the Giver he must have; . . . Therefore all that He makes must be
free to come and go through the heart of His child; he can enjoy it only as it
passes, can enjoy only its life, its soul, its vision, its meaning, not itself.”
—George MacDonald, 1824–1905
