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[Farewell! a long farewell, to all my greatness!

This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride At length broke under me and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye: I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have: And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again. -King Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bodies were in such bad shape they said there was no other way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39306]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bodies were in such bad shape they said there was no other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59348]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past.
