It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it "joy"?.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Existence is a strange bargain.
