That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not a has-been.
