II. JEROME TO PAULINUS.
— Jerome recounts the anecdote of Aeschines in exile praising Demosthenes' oration to illustrate the power of the living voice
"Aeschines, when he was in exile at Rhodes and that oration of Demosthenes was read which he had delivered against him, while all marveled and praised it, sighed and said: 'What if you had heard the beast itself sounding forth its own words?'"
