Fred:
 
    I'll confess myself stumped for
finding the phrase anywhere in the
available texts of Augustine's writings:
but a fun research for a winter's after-
noon.
 
    Some other sites (medievalists,
psychologists of sexuality, etc.) have
dealt over the years with the quote.
No firm citation of its origin: but the
alternative attributions to St. Bernard
of Clairvaux and St. Odo of Cluny may
be worth exploring.  Did a quick check
of both without any results.
 
    Best of luck,
 
                                        Steve
                                        Hicks  Information
