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[The courage and bravery of our young men and women fighting overseas continues to inspire all of us, and indeed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59712]]></link><description><![CDATA[The courage and bravery of our young men and women fighting overseas continues to inspire all of us, and indeed inspire the free world and those yearning for freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dark as pitch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dark as pitch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may outwit another, but not all the others. [Fr., On peut etre plus fin qu'un autre, mais non pas ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11535]]></link><description><![CDATA[One may outwit another, but not all the others. [Fr., On peut etre plus fin qu'un autre, mais non pas plus fin que tous les autres.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Garner) told me he's been in the big leagues a long time and to listen to him, ...

It arises in and flows through a life hid with Christ in God. Its source is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the potency of the Holy Spirit. True spiritual power is the child of two parents: the truth as it is revealed in Jesus and our own experience resulting upon our acceptance of Him and His truth. The objective factor is that whole set of facts and truths, of historic events, and of interpretation of them, which is held by the church and set forth in the Bible. The subjective factor is what happens in the crucible of your life and mine when we accept the set of facts and truths and interpretations, and it begins to work in us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is not the most important thing in the world.
