Here we will sit and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony. Sit, Jessica.

Such harmony is in immortal souls; But whilst this muddy vesture of decay Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it. -The Merchant of Venice. Act. v. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mothers of Teenagers Know Why Animals Eat Their Young ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mothers of Teenagers Know Why Animals Eat Their Young]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The times they are a-changing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27995]]></link><description><![CDATA[The times they are a-changing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
