how do we return to a sense of serenity? [George] MacDonald's poem may be the antidote we seek. The title combines both innocence and wisdom in a way reflected by the text itself. MacDonald's elegant four lines draw a simple but telling contrast between the passing violence of "lightning and thunder" and the unchanging peace of the "stars."
