The apparent disorder augments the grandeur, for the appearance of care is highly contrary to our ideas of magnificence.

In the midst of this sublime and terrible storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of her house with mop and pattens, trundling her mop, squeezing out the sea water, and vigorously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was roused. Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Partington. She was excellent at a slop or a puddle, but she should not have meddled with a tempest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion.
