But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. 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[One-fifth of the people are against everything all the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44945]]></link><description><![CDATA[One-fifth of the people are against everything all the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real love is a pilgrimage.

It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them.
