“Thou goest thine, and I go mine —
Many ways we wend;
Many days, and many ways,
Ending in one end.”
George MacDonald book Phantastes
Phantastes (1858)
Context: Thou goest thine, and I go mine —
Many ways we wend;
Many days, and many ways,
Ending in one end.
Many a wrong, and its curing song;
Many a road, and many an inn;
Room to roam, but only one home
For all the world to win.
