Baby
A collection of tender poems by the Scottish author George MacDonald, exploring the profound mystery and wonder of infancy. These verses contemplate the baby not merely as a child, but as a soul arriving fresh from the realm of dreams into the material world. MacDonald's characteristic spiritualvision infuses each stanza with a sense of the sacred hidden in the smallest gestures: a sleeping face, an outstretched hand, the mysterious communion between mother and child. Written with the delicate precision of one who understood that the boundary between the visible and invisible grows thin in the presence of the very young, this collection invites readers to rediscover the world through eyes that have not yet learned to see it as ordinary. It is poetry that asks us to consider what we forget when we grow up, and what fragment of that first wonder might linger still.
