XIV
My desires are many and my cry is pitiful, but ever didst
thou save me by hard refusals; and this strong mercy has been
wrought into my life through and through.
Day by day thou art making me worthy of the simple, great gifts
that thou gravest to me unasked this sky and the light, this body and
the life and the mind saving me from perils of overmuch desire.
There are times when I languidly linger and times when I awaken
and hurry in search of my goal; but cruelly thou hides thyself from
before me.
Day by day thou art making me worthy of thy full acceptance by
refusing me ever and anon, saving me from perils of weak, uncertain
desire.
