Which siding with invention, they together  Bear all the sway, possessing heart and brain (Thy workmanship), and give thee share in neither. Wit fancies beauty, beauty raiseth wit:  The world is theirs; they two play out the game,  Thou standing by: and though thy glorious name Wrought our deliverance from th' infernal pit, Who sings thy praise? only a scarf or glove  Doth warm our hands, and make them write of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it's not growing, it's going to die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21633]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it's not growing, it's going to die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Niagara! wonder of this western world, And half the world beside! hail, beauteous queen  Of cataracts!"
