S. AUGUST. Soliloq. 35.

O fountaine of life, and veine of living waters, when shall I leave this forsaken, impassible, and dry earth, and taste the waters of thy sweetnesse, that I may behold thy vertue, and thy glory, and slake my thirst with the streames of thy mercy? Lord, I thirst: Thou art the spring of life, satisfie me; I thirst, Lord, I thirst after thee the living God.
