Earth, tell it out abroad; The passover of gladness,  The passover of God. From death to life eternal, From this world to the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory. Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection light, And, list'ning to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain His own "All hail!" and, hearing, May raise the victor strain. Now let the heav'ns be joyful, Let earth her song begin, Let the round world keep triumph And all that is therein; Invisible and visible, Their notes let all things blend; For Christ the Lord has risen -- Our Joy that has no end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music arose with its voluptuous swell, Soft eyes look'd love to eyes which spake again,  And all went merry ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music arose with its voluptuous swell, Soft eyes look'd love to eyes which spake again,  And all went merry as a marriage bell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fatt man knoweth not, what the leane thinketh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49843]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fatt man knoweth not, what the leane thinketh.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have literally stuck their hands into a hornet's nest.

Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.
