We have cast our hope (St. Augustine of Hippo)

  Let us pine for the City where we are citizens… By pining, we are already there; we have already cast our hope, like an anchor, on that coast.  I sing of somewhere else, not of here; for I sing with my heart, not my flesh.  The citizens of Babylon hear the sound of the flesh; the Founder of Jerusalem hears the tune of the heart.

--St. Augustine of Hippo,

In the Light of Christ:  Writings in the Western Tradition
