Question
While a student in this city is avoiding a gang of hoodlums called “the Wreckers,” his mother has a dream of him standing on a “wooden rule.” The narrator chastises his boyhood self for weeping over a scene set in this city but not crying for his “own wretched self.” The protagonist sails away from this city after tricking his mother into spending the night praying at a shrine. After arriving in this city, the protagonist experiences a “cauldron of unholy loves” that “sings all around” his ears. The end of “The (*) Fire Sermon” section of “The Waste Land” quotes that narrator’s declaration, “To [this city] then I came.” While studying in this city, a native of Thagaste is disappointed by the ignorance of the Manichean preacher Faustus. For 10 points, Augustine’s Confessions depicts his hedonistic life in what North African city, and repeatedly references its Queen Dido? ■END■
