Note sull'episodio
Augustine opens On Christian Doctrine by splitting the whole work of Christian teaching in two: find what Scripture means, then give that meaning away—and he will not let the Church rest in the world as if the road were home. The same mind then turns inward in The Confessions and takes the present apart until “now” has no space left at all. Aquinas gathers the day with a quieter virtue: modesty, the part of temperance that puts measure not only on fierce desire, but on speech, study, recreation, dress, and the ordinary habit of knowing when enough is enough.
