The sun and moon I saw, And reverential awe Subdued me day and night,  "I am the perfect light." Within a lifeless stone -- All other gods unknown -- I sought Divinity,  "The Corner-stone am I." For sacrificial feast I slaughtered man and beast, Red recompense to gain.  "So I a Lamb was slain."

Only when grace is recognized to be incomprehensible is it grace. Grace exists, therefore, only where the Resurrection is reflected.

What reasonable or acceptable service can we then perform to God? When our candle is just sinking into the socket, how shall our light "so shine before men that they may see our good works"?...

That glorious form, that light insufferable,  And that far-beaming blaze majesty, Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity He laid aside, and, here with us to be.    Forsook the courts of everlasting day,  And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.  Say, Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein  Afford a present to the Infant God? Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,  To welcome him to this his new abode,  Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,    Hath took no print of the approaching light,  And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon the eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet! Oh, run! present them with thy humble ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet,    And join thy voice unto the Angel Quire,  From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is just fear, plus prayers, plus understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is just fear, plus prayers, plus understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Cameron] was dazed, kind of not really there, ...
