Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now to drink and trip it on the light fantastic toe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now to drink and trip it on the light fantastic toe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take time enough: all other graces Will soon fill up their proper places. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take time enough: all other graces Will soon fill up their proper places.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no forgiveness in nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63335]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no forgiveness in nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You do the best you can to make the transition as easy as possible.
