Wind and the Moon
This collection presents George MacDonald in his quieter, more contemplative mode. The title poem and its companions weave together the ancient partnership of wind and moon, those eternal wanderers across the night sky. MacDonald, better known for his fantasies like Phantastes and The Princess and the Goblin, reveals here his gift for the spare, luminous lyric. These are poems that move like their subjects: restless wind chasing across short lines, the moon hanging still and silver above. The verses carry the meditative quality of a man who understood that the natural world speaks in whispers, and that listening is its own form of prayer. For readers who know MacDonald only through his novels, these poems offer a different kind of magic, quieter but just as deep.
