Curiously, St Augustine of Hippo‘s Sermon 25 “Sermon on the verse of Psalm 94: Blessed the one whom You instruct, Lord, and whom You teach from Your law” is available online in Latin and Italian, but only inside a Google Book in English (p. 82).
Anyway, just in case anybody was wondering if anything were new under the sun (p. 83):
“Practically every year when we feel the cold we say ‘It’s never been so cold!”. ‘It’s never been so hot!’“

Yeah, but St.Augustine was a creationist, so nyah, nyah!
had Augustine known of Darwin 1500 years beforehand, that would have been a certified miracle
What is a creationist? Anyone who believes that God created the universe – so any theist? Augustine didn’t believe the world was created in six literal days, so if that’s the sort of creationist you mean, then that epithet doesn’t apply to him.
