Look right, look left, I dwell alone; I lift mine eyes, but dimmed with grief No everlasting hills I see; My life is in the falling leaf: O Jesus, quicken me. My life is like a faded leaf, My harvest dwindled to a husk: Truly my life is void and brief And tedious in the barren dusk; My life is like a frozen thing, No bud nor greenness can I see: Yet rise it shall--the sap of spring; O Jesus, rise in me. My life is like a broken bowl, A broken bowl that cannot hold One drop of water for my soul Or cordial in the searching cold; Cast in the fire the perished thing; Melt and remould it, till it be A royal cup for Him, my King: O Jesus, drink of me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes great skill to tell a compelling story in under 60 seconds.

One very effective way of silencing the voice of conscience is to impound in an Ism the teacher through whom it speaks; the trumpet no longer seriously disturbs our rest when we have murmured '..Thomist', 'Barthian', or 'Existentialist'. And in Macdonald it is, always the voice of conscience that speaks. He addresses the will: the demand for obedience, for "something to be neither more nor less nor other than done" is incessant. Yet in that very voice of conscience every other faculty somehow speaks as well -- intellect and imagination and humour and fancy and all the affections; and no man in modern times was perhaps more aware of the distinction between Law and Gospel, the inevitable failure of mere morality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was on the outside corner, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37629]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was on the outside corner,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So we grew together, Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,  But yet an union in partition--   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60146]]></link><description><![CDATA[So we grew together, Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,  But yet an union in partition--   Two lovely berries moulded on one stem;    So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart;     Two of the first, like coats in heraldry,      Due but to one, and crowned with one crest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60146</guid></item></channel></rss>
