But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it. [Lat., Maximum ornamentum amicitiae tollit, qui ex ea ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42902]]></link><description><![CDATA[He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it. [Lat., Maximum ornamentum amicitiae tollit, qui ex ea tollit verecudiam.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We couldn't pull a few out but they were all close games and during each one of those losses we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39632]]></link><description><![CDATA[We couldn't pull a few out but they were all close games and during each one of those losses we felt that we could have won the game.

And that, queerly enough as you might think, the man was not discomfited but heartened. Here at last, he felt, is one who understands and knows the facts. And since His desperate diagnosis is so accurate, may not His optimism also justify itself even in me. Well does He know what is in human nature, and yet, knowing the worst, He still has confident hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously I?m disappointed.

It can be argued that a society only gets the advertising it deserves.
