The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46739]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
