'Old age and death are not orderly; they link the present with the future by long, destructive processes. Such processes linked the old 'world' of Augustine to his heavenly 'city': and life itself was presented as a gradual and painful adjustment to a miraculous new growth that could happen in the midst of the horror of old age.'
--Peter Brown, Augustine of Hippo (p.295)
