plenty her feet adown.            While far over head hang gorgeously             Large luscious berries of sanguine dye,              For the best grows highest, always highest,               Upon the mulberry-tree.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Curiosity in children, is but an appetite for knowledge. ne great reason why
