But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The role that publishers play in terms of helping to put together the product in a way that has market ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28960]]></link><description><![CDATA[The role that publishers play in terms of helping to put together the product in a way that has market appeal, in publicizing the product ... that's something that Stephen King was able to forgo by going directly to the public, based on his reputation, ...
