quote | Augustine on America

"...is it reasonable, is it sensible, to boast of the extent and grandeur of empire, when you cannot show that men lived in happiness, as they passed their lives amid the horrors of war, amid the shedding of men's blood--whether the blood of enemies or fellow citizens--under the shadow of fear and amid the terror of ruthless ambition?"

-Augustine City of God 4.3 (Bettenson, 138).

update | A Month Really?

Has it really been a month since I've posted anything? Wow. A lot has been going on which needs to be filled in. I'll just have to remedy that once the weekend is over. In the meantime, I added a new song of the week. Happy listening.
