Above thy deep and dreamless sleep   The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth   The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years   Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary;   And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep   Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars together   Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King,   And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently,   The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts   The blessings of His Heav'n. No ear may hear His coming,   But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still,   The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem,   Descend to us, we pray, Cast out our sins, and enter in,   Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels   The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us,   Our Lord Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore all seasons shall be sweet to thee, Whether the summer clothe the general earth  With greenness, or the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54953]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore all seasons shall be sweet to thee, Whether the summer clothe the general earth  With greenness, or the redbreast sit and sing   Betwixt the tufts of snow on the bare branch    Of mossy apple-tree, while the nigh thatch     Smokes in the sunthaw; whether the eve-drops fall,      Heard only in the trances of the blast,       Of if the secret ministry of frost        Shall hang them up in silent icicles,         Quietly shining to the quiet moon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Check the beginning of evil; the remedy is too late when the disease by delay has increased in strength. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Check the beginning of evil; the remedy is too late when the disease by delay has increased in strength.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better buy than borrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50971]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better buy than borrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We might not need Barry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34859]]></link><description><![CDATA[We might not need Barry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle  It is impossible for a man to be a Christian without having Christ; and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle  It is impossible for a man to be a Christian without having Christ; and if he has Christ he has at the same time all that is in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adieu, delightful land of France!
