S. AUGUST. Soliloq. cap. 33.

There was a great and darke cloud of vanity before mine eyes, so that I could not see the Sun of Justice, and the light of Truth: I being the Son of darknesse, was involved in darknesse: I loved my darknesse, because I knew not thy Light: I was blind, and loved my blindnesse, and did walke from darkenesse to darkenesse: But Lord, thou art my God, who hast led me from darknesse, and the shadow of death; hast called me into this glorious light, and behold, I see.
