Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a major victory in the war against caviar criminals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37864]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a major victory in the war against caviar criminals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My first instinct was not to do it.
