Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have the urge to reach a state of peace, but we have no urge to compromise an inch of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29893]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have the urge to reach a state of peace, but we have no urge to compromise an inch of our territory nor do we accept our sovereignty to be impinged on,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole idea of a stereotype is to simplify.
