He [Peter Maurin] was full of patience, ready to look at me now: not as a Catherine of Siena, already enlightened by the Holy Spirit, but as an ex-Socialist, ex-IWW, ex-Communist, in whom he might find some concordance, some basis on which to build. But unions and strikes and the fight for better wages would remain my immediate concern. As St. Augustine said, "The bottle will still smell of the liquor it once held."
