O well-spring of this All! Thy Father's image vive; Word, that from nought did call What is, doth reason, live; The soul's eternal food, Earth's joy, delight of heaven; All truth, love, beauty, good: To thee, to thee be praises ever given! O glory of the heaven! O sole delight of earth! To thee all power be given, God's uncreated birth! Of mankind lover true, Indearer of his wrong, Who doth the world renew, Still be thou our salvation and our song!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hats off! Along the street there comes  A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,   A flash ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hats off! Along the street there comes  A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,   A flash of color beneath the sky:    Hats off!     The flag is passing by.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring and because it has fresh peaches ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring and because it has fresh peaches in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And when the day arrives I'll become the sky and I'll become the sea and the sea will come to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66678]]></link><description><![CDATA[And when the day arrives I'll become the sky and I'll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home.
