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.

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[I wouldn't read too much into it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28975]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wouldn't read too much into it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger experiences of life.
