1636PHAEDRUS: I have never noticed it; but I beseech you to tell me, Socrates, do you believe this tale?
1636PHAEDRUS: I think that I understand you; but will you explain yourself?
1636PHAEDRUS: In what direction then?
1636PHAEDRUS: In what way?
1636PHAEDRUS: Isocrates the fair:--What message will you send to him, and how shall we describe him?
1636PHAEDRUS: Need we?
1636PHAEDRUS: Not yet, Socrates; not until the heat of the day has passed; do you not see that the hour is almost noon?
1636PHAEDRUS: Show what?
1636PHAEDRUS: Then why are you still at your tricks?
1636PHAEDRUS: There is a great deal surely to be found in books of rhetoric?
1636PHAEDRUS: What are they?
1636PHAEDRUS: What do you mean, my good Socrates?
1636PHAEDRUS: What do you mean?
1636PHAEDRUS: What do you mean?
1636PHAEDRUS: What error?
1636PHAEDRUS: What gifts do you mean?
1636PHAEDRUS: What is our method?
1636PHAEDRUS: What is the other principle, Socrates?
1636PHAEDRUS: What is there remarkable in the epitaph?
1636PHAEDRUS: What name would you assign to them?
1636PHAEDRUS: What of that?
1636PHAEDRUS: What shall we say to him?
1636PHAEDRUS: What would you prophesy?
1636PHAEDRUS: What?
1636PHAEDRUS: Who are they, and where did you hear anything better than this?
1636PHAEDRUS: Whom do you mean, and what is his origin?
1636PHAEDRUS: Will you go on?
1636PHAEDRUS: You mean the living word of knowledge which has a soul, and of which the written word is properly no more than an image?
1636SOCRATES: About the just and unjust-- that is the matter in dispute?
1636SOCRATES: And can we suppose that he who knows the just and good and honourable has less understanding, than the husbandman, about his own seeds?
1636SOCRATES: And do you think that you can know the nature of the soul intelligently without knowing the nature of the whole?
1636SOCRATES: And how did he entertain you?
1636SOCRATES: And when he speaks in the assembly, he will make the same things seem good to the city at one time, and at another time the reverse of good?
1636SOCRATES: And when men are deceived and their notions are at variance with realities, it is clear that the error slips in through resemblances?
1636SOCRATES: And will not Sophocles say to the display of the would- be tragedian, that this is not tragedy but the preliminaries of tragedy?
1636SOCRATES: And will you go on with the narration?
1636SOCRATES: And you will be less likely to be discovered in passing by degrees into the other extreme than when you go all at once?
1636SOCRATES: But when any one speaks of justice and goodness we part company and are at odds with one another and with ourselves?
1636SOCRATES: Can this be said of the discourse of Lysias?
1636SOCRATES: Do you know how you can speak or act about rhetoric in a manner which will be acceptable to God?
1636SOCRATES: Do you mean that I am not in earnest?
1636SOCRATES: Does not your simplicity observe that I have got out of dithyrambics into heroics, when only uttering a censure on the lover?
1636SOCRATES: He, then, who would deceive others, and not be deceived, must exactly know the real likenesses and differences of things?
1636SOCRATES: I have now said all that I have to say of the art of rhetoric: have you anything to add?
1636SOCRATES: In good speaking should not the mind of the speaker know the truth of the matter about which he is going to speak?
1636SOCRATES: In which are we more likely to be deceived, and in which has rhetoric the greater power?
1636SOCRATES: It was foolish, I say,--to a certain extent, impious; can anything be more dreadful?
1636SOCRATES: Let me put the matter thus: When will there be more chance of deception-- when the difference is large or small?
1636SOCRATES: May not''the wolf,''as the proverb says,''claim a hearing''?
1636SOCRATES: My dear Phaedrus, whence come you, and whither are you going?
1636SOCRATES: Now to which class does love belong-- to the debatable or to the undisputed class?
1636SOCRATES: Shall I tell you what I will do?
1636SOCRATES: Shall we discuss the rules of writing and speech as we were proposing?
1636SOCRATES: Should we not offer up a prayer first of all to the local deities?
1636SOCRATES: Then as to the other topics-- are they not thrown down anyhow?
1636SOCRATES: Then do you think that any one of this class, however ill- disposed, would reproach Lysias with being an author?
1636SOCRATES: Then in some things we agree, but not in others?
1636SOCRATES: Well, and is not Eros the son of Aphrodite, and a god?
1636SOCRATES: What do you mean?
1636SOCRATES: When any one speaks of iron and silver, is not the same thing present in the minds of all?
1636SOCRATES: Who is he?
1636SOCRATES: Why, do you not know that when a politician writes, he begins with the names of his approvers?
1636Shall we say a word to him or not?
1636Socrates as yet does not know himself; and why should he care to know about unearthly monsters?
1636Then again in the noble art of politics, who thinks of first principles and of true ideas?
1636These are the commonplaces of the subject which must come in( for what else is there to be said?)
1636Was he equally serious in the rest?
1636We may raise the same question in another form: Is marriage preferable with or without love?
1636Well, the teacher will say, is this, Phaedrus and Socrates, your account of the so- called art of rhetoric, or am I to look for another?
1636What would Socrates think of our newspapers, of our theology?
1636What would he have said of the discovery of Christian doctrines in these old Greek legends?
1636What would he say of the Church, which we praise in like manner,''meaning ourselves,''without regard to history or experience?
1636What would they say if they saw that we, like the many, are not conversing, but slumbering at mid- day, lulled by their voices, too indolent to think?
1636While acknowledging that such interpretations are''very nice,''would he not have remarked that they are found in all sacred literatures?
1636Who would imagine that Lysias, who is here assailed by Socrates, is the son of his old friend Cephalus?
1636Who would suspect that the wise Critias, the virtuous Charmides, had ended their lives among the thirty tyrants?
1636Who, for example, could speak on this thesis of yours without praising the discretion of the non- lover and blaming the indiscretion of the lover?
1636Why did history degenerate into fable?
1636Why did poetry droop and languish?
1636Why did the physical sciences never arrive at any true knowledge or make any real progress?
1636Why did words lose their power of expression?
1636Why do I say so?
1636Why do you not proceed?
1636Why should the next topic follow next in order, or any other topic?
1636Why were ages of external greatness and magnificence attended by all the signs of decay in the human mind which are possible?
1636Will he not choose a beloved who is delicate rather than sturdy and strong?
1636Would he not have asked of us, or rather is he not asking of us, Whether we have ceased to prefer appearances to reality?
1636Would they not have a right to laugh at us?
1636Yes; but is not even a ridiculous friend better than a cunning enemy?
1636and are they both equally self- moving and constructed on the same threefold principle?
1636and will not Acumenus say the same of medicine to the would- be physician?
1636or, whether the''select wise''are not''the many''after all?
17470''But,''it is sometimes urged,''why not leave this new study of English to the younger Universities now being set up all over the country?''
17470''English Art?''

17470-- And wilt thou leave me thus?
17470--For what purpose does the poet wish for a thousand tongues, but to sing?
17470--how shall we answer the divine men?
17470All this of which I am speaking is Art: and Literature being an Art, do you not see how personal a thing it is-- how it can not escape being personal?
17470And then he proceeds to preach the Old Masters.--But how?--why?--to what end?
17470And when you point with pride to Milton''s and those other mulberry trees in your Academe, bethink you''What poets are they shading to- day?
17470And will anyone in this room tell me that what Reynolds said of painting is not to- day, for us, applicable to writing?
17470And will you refuse a hearing when I claim that the Roman came in too?
17470And wilt thou leave me thus?
17470And, in fine, what is it all about?
17470Another of my questions was about the so- called spurious books; had he written them or not?
17470Art thou rich, yet is thy mind perplex''d?
17470Brother mine, art a- waking or a- sleeping: Mind''st thou the merry moon a many summers fled?
17470But beauty vanishes, beauty passes, However rare, rare it be; And when I crumble who shall remember That lady of the West Country?
17470But if you had to_ make_ a beetle, as men are making poetry, how much would classification help?
17470But may I urge-- and remember please that my credit is pledged to_ you_ now-- may I urge that this is not a wholly convincing answer?
17470But now suppose that, having practised it, our candidate was able to speak like this:--''But what( says the Financier) is peace to us without money?
17470But what of that?
17470But what were they playing at?
17470But where has he helped us to write with beauty, with charm, with distinction?
17470But why do you practise it in your Essays?
17470But why, like Dogberry, have''had losses''?
17470But you are shy of such heights?
17470But you will ask,''_ Why_ should verse and prose employ diction so different?
17470Can he, indeed?...
17470Can ye say nay But that you said That I alway Should be obeyed?
17470Can you-- can anyone-- compare the two passages and miss to see that they belong to two different kingdoms of poetry?
17470Can_ you,_ sir?

17470Do you remember that tessellated pavement with its emblems and images of the younger gods?
17470Do you wonder?
17470Does he recite lists of names, dates, with formulae concerning styles?
17470Does he recommend his old masters for copying, then?--for mere imitation?
17470Does it not follow that by drilling ourselves to write perspicuously we train our minds to clarify their thought?
17470Does it not follow, then, that the more accurately we use words the closer definition we shall give to our thoughts?
17470Does the difference, then, perchance lie in ourselves?
17470Dost thou laugh to see how fools are vex''d To add to golden numbers golden numbers?
17470Eh?
17470Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other-- or Our dignity?

17470Have you begun to detect the two main vices of Jargon?
17470He lives, and why?
17470He visited the bountiful, everlasting source, and of what did he sing?
17470Hell, where is thy victory?
17470How does it begin?
17470I know not to what wiseacre we owe that pronouncement: but what do you think of it, after the lyric I have just quoted?
17470I thanked him, but could not forbear asking''Why do they keep this gate closed?''
17470If a battle there must be, how is burning better than garments rolled in blood?

17470Instances?

17470Is it not true in Ireland?

17470It means both at once: why?

17470May I follow up this experience of his with one of my own, as a preface or brief apology for this lecture?
17470May we collect and send you notices of it appearing in the World''s Press?

17470Or who shall determine its range, whether of thought or of music?
17470Perhaps they can pay you the silent compliment of supposing that you are perfectly acquainted with it?...
17470Praise whom?
17470Should I be led With doubleness?
17470Since Faith is dead And Truth away From you is fled?
17470So I revert to the larger question,''What is Style?
17470So why not say''I was careless if I won or lost,''and have done with it?
17470Specially might I speak to you of the music of its monosyllables--''"What sawest you there?"
17470Suppose, sir, that you wish to become a journalist?

17470What are they?
17470What became of it all?--of that easy colonial life, of the men and women who trod those tessellated pavements?
17470What do I argue from this?
17470What follows, but that in speaking or writing we have an obligation to put ourselves into the hearer''s or reader''s place?
17470What has happened?
17470What is your will about these matters?''

17470Why should men start upon the more difficult form and proceed to the easier?
17470Why should you presume that in any country a body duly constituted for any function will neglect to perform its duty and abdicate its trust?
17470Why?
17470Will you not agree with me that here is no writing, here is no prose, here is not even English, but merely a flux of words to the pen?
17470Will you suggest that he did this because they were pretty?

17470Yes, and among the unnatural sciences, what of Political Economy?

2562( from within) Who''s there?
2562A horse?
2562A sword?
2562About measures, or rhythms, or verses?
2562About what?
2562According to the dactyle?
2562Ah me, what then, pray will become of me, wretched man?
2562Alektryaina?
2562Am I to feed upon wisdom like a dog?
2562And do you now intend, on this account, to deny the debt?
2562And do you then ask me for your money, being such an ignorant person?
2562And for what did you come?
2562And how then, you wretch does this become no way greater, though the rivers flow into it, while you seek to increase your money?
2562And if he be a blackguard, what harm will he suffer?
2562And so you look down upon the gods from your basket, and not from the earth?
2562And to hold converse with the Clouds, our divinities?
2562And what does it mean?
2562And what this?
2562And what, pray, have you thought?
2562And will you be willing to deny these upon oath of the gods?
2562And will you obey me at all?
2562And yet, how could you, who are a mortal, have greater power than a god?
2562And yet, on what principle do you blame the warm baths?
2562And yet, what is life worth to you if you be deprived of these enjoyments?
2562And yet, who was more valiant than he?
2562And you appear to me, by Hermes, to be going to be summoned, if you will not pay me the money?
2562Are they not males with you?
2562Are they some heroines?
2562Are you asleep?
2562Are you not meditating?
2562Both the same?
2562But come, by the Earth, is not Jupiter, the Olympian, a god?
2562But do you permit him?
2562But from what class do the public orators come?
2562But what debt came upon me after Pasias?
2562But what good will rhythms do me for a living?
2562But what if he should suffer the radish through obeying you, and be depillated with hot ashes?
2562But what if, having the worst Cause, I shall conquer you in arguing, proving that it is right to beat one''s mother?
2562But what is this?
2562But what of that?
2562But where is Lacedaemon?
2562But why in the world do these look upon the ground?
2562But why should I learn these things, that we all know?
2562By doing what clever trick?
2562By iron money, as in Byzantium?
2562By no means; for how would you call Amynias, if you met him?
2562By the gods, do you purpose to besiege me?
2562By what do you swear?
2562By what gods will you swear?
2562Can not it?
2562Come now, which of the two shall speak first?
2562Come now; what do you now wish to learn first of those things in none of which you have ever been instructed?
2562Come, how am I to believe this?
2562Come, let me see: nay, what was the first?
2562Come, let me see; what do I owe?
2562Come, let me see; what do you consider this to be?
2562Come, let me see; what do you do if any one beat you?
2562Come, now, tell me; from what class do the advocates come?
2562Come, tell me, which of the sons of Jupiter do you deem to have been the bravest in soul, and to have undergone most labours?
2562Come, where have you ever seen him raining at any time without Clouds?
2562Come, who is this man who is in the basket?
2562Did you hear the voice, and the thunder which bellowed at the same time, feared as a god?
2562Did you learn these clever things by going in just now to the Titans?
2562Did you not, however, know, nor yet consider, these to be goddesses?
2562Do I talk nonsense if I wish to recover my money?
2562Do you abuse your teacher?
2562Do you beat your father?
2562Do you beat your father?
2562Do you fly?
2562Do you know that I take pleasure in being much abused?
2562Do you mean the burning- glass?
2562Do you not hear?
2562Do you perceive that you are soon to obtain the greatest benefits through us alone of the gods?
2562Do you see this little door and little house?
2562Do you see what you are doing?
2562Do you see?
2562Do you see?
2562Do you wish to know clearly celestial matters, what they rightly are?
2562Does meditation attract the moisture to the water- cresses?
2562Even if witnesses were present when I borrowed the money?
2562For come, where is it?
2562For ought you not then immediately to be beaten and trampled on, bidding me sing, just as if you were entertaining cicadae?
2562For what has come into your heads that you acted insolently toward the gods, and pried into the seat of the moon?
2562For what matter do you summon me?
2562For what now was the first thing you were taught?
2562For what purpose a chaplet?
2562For what, pray, is the thunderbolt?
2562For what, pray, shall I weep?
2562For why ought your body to be exempt from blows and mine not?
2562From what class do tragedians come?
2562Have I done any wrong?
2562Have you arrived at such a pitch of frenzy that you believe madmen?
2562Have you ever seen this stone in the chemist''s shops, the beautiful and transparent one, from which they kindle fire?
2562Have you ever, when you; looked up, seen a cloud like to a centaur, or a panther, or a wolf, or a bull?
2562Have you got anything?
2562Have you not heard me, that I said that the Clouds, when full of moisture, dash against each other and clap by reason of their density?
2562How can this youth ever learn an acquittal from a trial or a legal summons, or persuasive refutation?
2562How did you get in debt without observing it?
2562How many courses will the war- chariots run?
2562How now ought I to call them?
2562How ought I to call it henceforth?
2562How then can I awake him in the most agreeable manner?
2562How then did he measure this?
2562How then is it just that you should recover your money, if you know nothing of meteorological matters?
2562How would I call?
2562How, pray?
2562How, pray?
2562How, then, being an old man, shall I learn the subtleties of refined disquisitions?
2562How, then, if justice exists, has Jupiter not perished, who bound his own father?
2562How, then, will you be able to learn?
2562How?
2562How?
2562How?
2562How?
2562How?
2562I do not ask you this, but which you account the most beautiful measure; the trimetre or the tetrameter?
2562I will be silent: what else can I do?
2562I will pass over to that part of my discourse where you interrupted me; and first I will ask you this: Did you beat me when I was a boy?
2562I''ll lay on you, goading you behind, you outrigger?
2562I?
2562If I be diligent and learn zealously, to which of your disciples shall I become like?
2562In what then, pray, shall I obey you?
2562In what way do I make kardopos masculine?
2562In what way?
2562In what way?
