    Passing hence from infancy, I came to boyhood, or rather it came to me, displacing infancy. Nor did that depart,--(for whither went it?)--and yet it was no more. For I was no longer a speechless infant, but a speaking boy

    Both entities are typed as 'life_stage' and refer to the early period of Augustine's life. 'Boyhood' is a specific term for a part of 'childhood', and in the context of Augustine's autobiographical reflections, these terms are often used interchangeably to denote the same general period of his early life. The descriptions and associated person ('Augustine') align perfectly.
