Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every writer hopes or boldly assumes that his life is in some sense exemplary, that the particular will turn out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every writer hopes or boldly assumes that his life is in some sense exemplary, that the particular will turn out to be universal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We recruited some really good talent, so it's just a matter of those guys coming in, learning the system and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33835]]></link><description><![CDATA[We recruited some really good talent, so it's just a matter of those guys coming in, learning the system and playing up to their capabilities.
