Why spill this golden splendor out across The western hills, and light the silver lamp Of eve? Why give me eyes to see, and soul To love so strong and deep? Then, with a pang This brightness stabs me through, and wakes within Rebellious voice to cry against all death? Why set this hunger for eternity To gnaw my heartstrings through, if death ends all? If death ends all, then evil must be good, Wrong must be right, and beauty ugliness.  God is a Judas who betrays His Son, And with a kiss, damns all the world to hell, -- If Christ rose not again.   ... Unknown soldier, killed in World War I  August 9, 2002 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921 Concluding a short series of verse on Christ: With this ambiguous earth his dealings have been told us. These abide:    The signal to a maid, the human birth,    The lesson, and the young Man crucified. But not a star of all the innumerable host of stars has heard    How he administered this terrestrial ball.    Our race has kept their Lord's entrusted Word. Of his earth-visiting feet none knows the secret, cherished, perilous,    The terrible, shamefast, frightened, whispered, sweet,    Heart-shattering secret of his way with us. No planet knows that this, our wayside planet, carrying land and wave,    Love and life multiplied, and pain and bliss,    Bears, as its chief treasure, one forsaken grave. Nor, in our little day, may his devices with the heavens be guessed,    His pilgrimage to thread the Milky Way    Or his bestowal there be manifest. But in the eternities, doubtless we shall compare    Together, hear a million alien Gospels, in what guise    He trod the Pleiades, the Lyre, and the Bear. O, be prepared, my soul! To read the inconceivable, to scan    The million forms of God those stars unroll    When, in our turn, we show to them a Man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passive pleasure is no pleasure at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29645]]></link><description><![CDATA[Passive pleasure is no pleasure at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed.

Education ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on education:   What are the gifts of biblical faith to the secular university? Education can receive from the Bible a faith concerning man far more realistic than the naive faith by which education has tried to live. Not man as "pure reason": his reason is not pure. Not man as incipient angel: he can turn any structure... to good or to demonic purpose. Not man with his steps on the highroad called evolution: he is relatively free and, therefore, can and does wreck any evolution unless some Grace constantly renews his onward journey. Not man who by his science is sure to fashion a "brave new world"; by science he can destroy the world. Not man as centrally and characteristically a reasonable creature who needs only that his mind shall be educated to build a reasonable world. Not man regarded in any naive faith, but man as potentially divine and potentially unworthy, who stands always in need of help from beyond the confines of the natural order. If education confronts this faith, education will know that the mind's adventure also, like all things human, stands in need of redemption; and it can then proceed with lowliness, and thus with the power and light which are the reward of the lowly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The declines will be very modest, however, because mills did a good job of cutting output to defend existing prices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38638]]></link><description><![CDATA[The declines will be very modest, however, because mills did a good job of cutting output to defend existing prices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63052]]></link><description><![CDATA[The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One picture in ten thousand, perhaps, ought to live in the applause of mankind, from generation to generation until the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45420]]></link><description><![CDATA[One picture in ten thousand, perhaps, ought to live in the applause of mankind, from generation to generation until the colors fade and blacken out of sight or the canvas rot entirely away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust, but verify. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust, but verify.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look! how he laughs and stretches out his arms, And opens wide his blue eyes upon thine,  To hail ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3626]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look! how he laughs and stretches out his arms, And opens wide his blue eyes upon thine,  To hail his father; while his little form   Flutters as winged with joy.
