Go not so far away, leaving us to evil. Darkness is loose upon the world, the Devil Walks in the land, and there is nothing worth. Death like a dog runs howling from his lair; His bite has made men mad, they follow after All howling too, and their demoniac laughter Drowns like a sea our solitary prayer. Return, 0 Lord, return. Come with the day, Come with the light, that men may see once more Across this earth's uncomfortable floor The kindly paths, the old and loving way. Let us not die of evil in the night. Let there be God again. Let there be light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gas was pouring out of the truck like a roof drain in a storm, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35565]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gas was pouring out of the truck like a roof drain in a storm,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh what people of God we ought to be; and grace can make us so! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh what people of God we ought to be; and grace can make us so!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And on the balmy zephyrs tranquil rest The silver clouds.   - John Keats, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62665]]></link><description><![CDATA[And on the balmy zephyrs tranquil rest The silver clouds.   - John Keats,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take gifts with a sigh: most men give to be paid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17452]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take gifts with a sigh: most men give to be paid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that truth has only one face: that of a violent contradiction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10031]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that truth has only one face: that of a violent contradiction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In my household, we've already begun energy conservation.
