For so the holy sages once did sing,    That he our deadly forfeit should release,  And with his Father work us a perpetual peace. That glorious form, that light insufferable,  And that far-beaming blaze majesty, Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity He laid aside, and, here with us to be.    Forsook the courts of everlasting day,  And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.  Say, Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein  Afford a present to the Infant God? Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,  To welcome him to this his new abode,  Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,    Hath took no print of the approaching light,  And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon the eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet! Oh, run! present them with thy humble ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet,    And join thy voice unto the Angel Quire,  From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody agrees with anybody else anyhow, but adults conceal it and infants show it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody agrees with anybody else anyhow, but adults conceal it and infants show it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy means to us Indian people, 'I am going to steal your land' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy means to us Indian people, 'I am going to steal your land']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone came out intense.
