Half clinging childlike to the mother found,
Yet half repelling - as the soft eyes say,
"How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not
That I must be about my Father's business?" (Dinah Craik)

O infinitely human, yet divine! Half clinging childlike to the mother found, Yet half repelling - as the soft eyes say, "How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not That I must be about my Father's business?"
