Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63531]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How he sleepeth! having drunken Weary childhood's mandragore,  From his pretty eyes have sunken   Pleasures to make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56621]]></link><description><![CDATA[How he sleepeth! having drunken Weary childhood's mandragore,  From his pretty eyes have sunken   Pleasures to make room for more--    Sleeping near the withered nosegay which he pulled the day before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26006]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being selected to guide this historic property through its next phase of development is an honor and an exciting opportunity. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being selected to guide this historic property through its next phase of development is an honor and an exciting opportunity.
