Ambrose of Milan, on Exod 3:3

“And Moses said: I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”

“Moses, too, passing by things of this world, saw a great sight and said, "I will turn aside and see this great sight," for had he been held by the fleeting pleasures of this world he would not have seen so great a mystery.”
