I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
Read Chapter 31
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
13. "I have been forgotten, as one dead from the heart" (ver. 12). And they have forgotten me, as if I were dead from their hearts. "I have become as a lost vessel." I have seemed to myself to be lost to all the Lord's service, living in this world, and gaining none, when all were afraid to join themselves unto me.
