And what could possibly be meant by saying that any reality of an impersonal kind could exercise over me such a constraint as that? I have never been able to see that it could mean anything at all. I have never been able to see how any being that is not a person could possess a moral and spiritual claim over me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear bells! how sweet the sound of village bells When on the undulating air they swim! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dear bells! how sweet the sound of village bells When on the undulating air they swim!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4109</guid></item></channel></rss>
