One very effective way of silencing the voice of conscience is to impound in an Ism the teacher through whom it speaks; the trumpet no longer seriously disturbs our rest when we have murmured '..Thomist', 'Barthian', or 'Existentialist'. And in Macdonald it is, always the voice of conscience that speaks. He addresses the will: the demand for obedience, for "something to be neither more nor less nor other than done" is incessant. Yet in that very voice of conscience every other faculty somehow speaks as well -- intellect and imagination and humour and fancy and all the affections; and no man in modern times was perhaps more aware of the distinction between Law and Gospel, the inevitable failure of mere morality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friend, of my infinite dreams Little enough endures;  Little howe'er it seems,   It is yours, all yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friend, of my infinite dreams Little enough endures;  Little howe'er it seems,   It is yours, all yours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows, and of lending existence to nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46780]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows, and of lending existence to nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2637]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties?
