Inspired by the following passage from The Confessions by St. Augustine:
All this those writings of the Platonists do not have. Their pages do not have this face of piety, the tears of confession, your sacrifice, a troubled spirit, a contrite and a humbled heart, ….
In them no man hears him calling to us: ‘Come unto me, all you that labor.’ They scorn to learn of him because he is meek and humble of heart.
‘For you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to little ones.’
(7.21.27)
