Confessions
Book Three - Chapter 1 - Section 1
St. Augustine
As Eliot mentions in
his note
to
line 307,
this comes from
Confessions, Book Three, Chapter 1, Section 1
by St. Augustine.
John Peter has made an interesting comment on Augustine's trips to Carthage.
Augustine 'came' twice to Carthage and directs us to the
Confessions, Book Four, Chapter 4.
For more on why Augustine went to Carthage twice see the
commentary.
