What would it be to taste at the fountain-head that stream of which even these lower reaches prove so intoxicating? Yet that, I believe, is what lies before us. As St. Augustine said, the rapture of the saved soul will "flow over" into the glorified body. In the light of our present specialized and depraved appetites, we cannot imagine this [torrent of pleasure], and I warn everyone most seriously not to try. But it must be mentioned, to drive out thoughts even more misleading--thoughts that what is saved is a mere ghost, or that the risen body lives in numb insensibility. The body is made for the Lord, and these dismal fancies are wide of the mark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The beauty seems right By force of beauty, and the feeble wrong  Because of weakness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3837]]></link><description><![CDATA[The beauty seems right By force of beauty, and the feeble wrong  Because of weakness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Given the cultural barriers to intersex conversation, the amazing thing is that we would even expect women and men to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27182]]></link><description><![CDATA[Given the cultural barriers to intersex conversation, the amazing thing is that we would even expect women and men to have anything to say to each other for more than ten minutes at a stretch.
