“Outside the city, we have heard. Inside the city, we have seen. God is the eternal light of this city. The light of day shines there without the sun we know in this world, and of the moon there is no need. The foundation of this city belongs not to time but to eternity.”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — Commentaries on the Twelve Davidic Psalms, On Psalm 48
