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[Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had the crow only fed without cawing she would have had more to eat, and much less of strife and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had the crow only fed without cawing she would have had more to eat, and much less of strife and envy to contend with.

But Jesus did believe in Him, was sure He is alive and abroad in the world; that, therefore, anything may happen any hour. And thus to Him any smallest incident was a magic casement opening upon who could tell what possibilities. A fisherman offers Him a crude, inchoate half-faith, and with that He is sure that He can found a world-wide Church that will defy the powers of evil, aye, and grind them into nothingness at last: a dying brigand, paying the just penalties of his crimes, gropes towards Him in the darkness with the vague hands of a blind man, and, founding upon that, Christ dies, quite sure that He has won: two or three Gentiles seek an interview with Him, and He sees a whole teeming world of men and women being saved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men stand like solitary towers in the city of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men stand like solitary towers in the city of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.
