Why spill this golden splendor out across The western hills, and light the silver lamp Of eve? Why give me eyes to see, and soul To love so strong and deep? Then, with a pang This brightness stabs me through, and wakes within Rebellious voice to cry against all death? Why set this hunger for eternity To gnaw my heartstrings through, if death ends all? If death ends all, then evil must be good, Wrong must be right, and beauty ugliness.  God is a Judas who betrays His Son, And with a kiss, damns all the world to hell, -- If Christ rose not again.   ... Unknown soldier, killed in World War I  August 9, 2002 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921 Concluding a short series of verse on Christ: With this ambiguous earth his dealings have been told us. These abide:    The signal to a maid, the human birth,    The lesson, and the young Man crucified. But not a star of all the innumerable host of stars has heard    How he administered this terrestrial ball.    Our race has kept their Lord's entrusted Word. Of his earth-visiting feet none knows the secret, cherished, perilous,    The terrible, shamefast, frightened, whispered, sweet,    Heart-shattering secret of his way with us. No planet knows that this, our wayside planet, carrying land and wave,    Love and life multiplied, and pain and bliss,    Bears, as its chief treasure, one forsaken grave. Nor, in our little day, may his devices with the heavens be guessed,    His pilgrimage to thread the Milky Way    Or his bestowal there be manifest. But in the eternities, doubtless we shall compare    Together, hear a million alien Gospels, in what guise    He trod the Pleiades, the Lyre, and the Bear. O, be prepared, my soul! To read the inconceivable, to scan    The million forms of God those stars unroll    When, in our turn, we show to them a Man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is such a thing as taking ourselves and the world too seriously, or at any rate too anxiously.

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows, cats have enormous patience ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32011]]></link><description><![CDATA[As anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows, cats have enormous patience with the limitations of the human kind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43950]]></link><description><![CDATA[I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some hearts are hidden, some have not a heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some hearts are hidden, some have not a heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The historian sees backward.
