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[Gracious to all, to none subservient, Without offense he spoke the word he meant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gracious to all, to none subservient, Without offense he spoke the word he meant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58422]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trenchant blade Toledo trusty. For want of fighting was grown rusty,  And ate into itself for lack  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45872]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trenchant blade Toledo trusty. For want of fighting was grown rusty,  And ate into itself for lack   Of somebody to hew and hack.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you hit a shot at the end of a quarter or a half, that gives you a lot of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31278]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you hit a shot at the end of a quarter or a half, that gives you a lot of momentum if the game is close.
