The contrast is not between body and mind, but between flesh, i.e., all man's physical and mental faculties as they exist in his enslaved self-loving state, and spirit, which witnesses within him to all that his existence was, and still is meant to be, capable of loving God in the same way that God loves him.
- W. H. Auden, Augustus to Augustine (a review of Cochrane's Christianity and Classical Culture)
