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[With clothes the new are best, with friends the old are best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28054]]></link><description><![CDATA[With clothes the new are best, with friends the old are best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Movin' to Montana soon Gonna be a dental floss tycoon ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59943]]></link><description><![CDATA[Movin' to Montana soon Gonna be a dental floss tycoon]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If God sends us on strong paths, we are provided strong shoes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13799]]></link><description><![CDATA[If God sends us on strong paths, we are provided strong shoes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience; for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18934]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot buy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You not supposed to feel down over whatever happen to you.
