AUGUSTINE
 |
| Augustine of Hippo
"The patron and namesake of the Private Tertiary Institution is Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430), a Catholic bishop born in present day Algeria and educated in Northern Africa. After completing his studies he began teaching rhetoric in Rome and Milan, yet he restlessly and relentlessly continued to search for wisdom, truth, and beauty. The Manicheans and then the Neo-Platonist philosophers provided some answers, but it was not until he came to a conviction as to the truths of the Christian faith that he was able to begin his real ascent to ‘Wisdom ever ancient, ever new’." ~ST AUGUSTINE PRIVATE TERTIARY INSTITUTION OF SOUTH AFRICA

"ROUSSEAU"
A state of grace, untouched, untraced
A ritual passing
At from the Earth
Unbounded birth, you came unknown savage
Your soul is following me, following me
Following me down to the ladders
Or are we really born around free?
Born around free
Or just brought again
And you think you feel
Yeah you think youll be on your own

Fresh dream like blood, like blood
And thats the jungle
You sense mistakes, remember me
The safety of the dark
Such fantastic beasts
Home and on the streets
Glorious machines
til it takes your head and sets you free
Your soul is following me, following me
Following me down to the ladders
Or are we really born free?
Born around free
Or just brought again
And you think you feel
Yeah you think youll be on your own
Please follow me
Such fantastic beasts
Home and on the streets
Glorious machines
Your soul is following me, following me
Following me down to the ladders
Or are we really born free?
Born around free
Or just brought again
And you think you feel
Yeah you think youll be on your own
Please follow me
