Transhistorical Intentions and the Persistence of Allegory

For my part I declare resolutely and with all my heart that if I were called upon to write a book which was to be vested with the highest authority, I should prefer to write it in such a way that a reader could find re-echoed in my words whatever truths he was able to apprehend. I would rather write in this way than impose a single true meaning so explicitly that it would exclude all others, even though they contained no falsehood that could give me offense. And if this is what I would choose for myself, I will not be so rash my God, as to suppose that so great a man as Moses deserved a lesser gift from you. St. Augustine, Confessions, Bk. 12
