Augustine on John 2: “Read all the prophetic books without perceiving Christ: what will you find so insipid and so silly? Understand Christ there, and what you are reading not only becomes savory but intoxicates.”
Hamann quotes this in his Aesthetica in nuce : Intelliges ibi CHRISTUM, non solum sapit, quod legis, sed etiam inebriat.
