Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I woke at intervals until . . . the intervals of waking tipped the scales, and I was more often ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61083]]></link><description><![CDATA[I woke at intervals until . . . the intervals of waking tipped the scales, and I was more often awake than not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it.

It is the variety which gives interest to the unity. What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond?
