But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tragedy is when you've got sex in the head instead of down where it belongs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59535]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tragedy is when you've got sex in the head instead of down where it belongs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Losing doesn't eat at me the way it used to.

And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A baby was sleeping, Its mother was weeping. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3643]]></link><description><![CDATA[A baby was sleeping, Its mother was weeping.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So wise, so grave, of so perplex'd a tongue, And loud withal, that would not wag, not scarce  Lie ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23502]]></link><description><![CDATA[So wise, so grave, of so perplex'd a tongue, And loud withal, that would not wag, not scarce  Lie still without a fee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56616]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indifference may not wreck a man's life at any one turn, but it will destroy him with a kind of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indifference may not wreck a man's life at any one turn, but it will destroy him with a kind of dry-rot in the long run]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Memory is the mother of all wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Memory is the mother of all wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The clock should have gone back to nine seconds instead of down to five, but I've got to hand it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38573]]></link><description><![CDATA[The clock should have gone back to nine seconds instead of down to five, but I've got to hand it to the other team.
