Decided to try this translation of the first nine books with its intentionally poetic layout - which certainly honors the prominence of the Psalms in Augustine's prayer-narrative. I think I'm going to like this . . . .

Immensely enjoying this translation and the spacious, poetic formatting! For readers whose primary interest is spiritual and literary, I don't think there's a better choice to start with!
Just wish books 10-12 had been included. Even though I get the reasoning for omitting them.

Chapter 4. ❤️ Beautiful in English but I can never pass it without the Latin too. All the superlatives . . . summe, optime, potentissime, omnipotentissime, misericordissime et iustissime, secretissime et praesentissime, pulcherrime et fortissime, stabilis et incomprehensibilis, immutabilis mutans omnia . . .
