From all that terror teaches,  From lies of tongue and pen; From all the easy speeches  That comfort cruel men; From sale and profanation  Of honor and the sword; From sleep and from damnation,  Deliver us, good Lord! Tie in a living tether  The prince and priest and thrall; Bind all our lives together,  Smite us and save us all; In ire and exultation  Aflame with faith, and free, Lift up a living nation,  A single sword to Thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset?

For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item></channel></rss>
