Note 41 — Chapter IX · PREACHING
Reading edition
St. Bernard’s dactylic pace is more marked at the opening of the first sermon of this series: “Laborat affectio mellifluæ dulcedinis copiam latius effundere gestiens, nec inveniens verba. Tanta siquidem est gratia sermonis hujus ut continuo incipiat minus sapere si unum iota mutavero.” PL 183: 87.
