For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Corpse or a Ghost-- . . .
