But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Higher than the perfect song For which love longeth,  Is the tender fear of wrong,   That never ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Higher than the perfect song For which love longeth,  Is the tender fear of wrong,   That never wrongeth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[CHRISTMAS DAY Bright portals of the sky, Emboss'd with sparkling stars, Doors of eternity, With diamantine bars, Your arras rich ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7445]]></link><description><![CDATA[CHRISTMAS DAY Bright portals of the sky, Emboss'd with sparkling stars, Doors of eternity, With diamantine bars, Your arras rich uphold, Loose all your bolts and springs, Ope wide your leaves of gold, That in your roofs may come the King of Kings.
