Indeed, since He does not need it, its whole reason for being must lie in its own natural goodness; He has no use for it, only delight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those curious locks so aptly twin'd, Whose every hair a soul doth bind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those curious locks so aptly twin'd, Whose every hair a soul doth bind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a tiny yellow daffodil, The butterfly can see it from afar,  Although one summer evening's dew could ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10978]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a tiny yellow daffodil, The butterfly can see it from afar,  Although one summer evening's dew could fill   Its little cup twice over, ere the star    Had called the lazy shepherd to his fold,     And be no prodigal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flowers are restful to look at.
