HAHA: From my Art History paper, a footnote:
"De Genesi ad litteram, 18. note: Latinate names will be retained for the purposes of citation for three reasons: first, much of the scholarly literature as well as the notes to the Libri Carolini address Augustine’s works by these names, so for purposes of congruity I will retain their system. Secondly, there exist a fair number of Augustine’s works for which English translations of the titles fail to accurate capture the meaning in the original Latin (De doctrina christiana being an accepted case thereof). Thirdly, I’m proud of the progress I have made in my Latin this term, and would like to show that off a little bit."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
