Dialogue

 1 Phaedo|      Apollo.~Tell him, Cebes, he replied, what is the truth—that
 2 Phaedo|       follow the dying?~Socrates replied: And have you, Cebes and
 3 Phaedo|         them.~Do not lose heart, replied Socrates, and the day may
 4 Phaedo|         if you could?~Certainly, replied Cebes.~Then, if we look
 5 Phaedo|        be our good masters.~Yes, replied Socrates; there is reason
 6 Phaedo|     yourself.~I will do my best, replied Socrates. But you must first
 7 Phaedo|         me.~Only this, Socrates, replied Crito:—the attendant who
 8 Phaedo|         well what you would say, replied Crito; but I was obliged
 9 Phaedo|      thing as death?~To be sure, replied Simmias.~Is it not the separation
10 Phaedo|      this but death?~Just so, he replied.~There is another question,
11 Phaedo|      best of them?~Certainly, he replied.~Then when does the soul
12 Phaedo| wonderful truth in it, Socrates, replied Simmias.~And when real philosophers
13 Phaedo|      manner purified.~Certainly, replied Simmias.~And what is purification
14 Phaedo|         death.~He would, indeed, replied Simmias.~And when you see
15 Phaedo|     power, or both?~Quite so, he replied.~And is not courage, Simmias,
16 Phaedo|        to be adduced.~Very true, replied Cebes.~Then let us consider
17 Phaedo|     other of them?~Very true, he replied.~Well, and is there not
18 Phaedo|          dead?~That is clear, he replied.~Then the inference is that
19 Phaedo|        generation?~Certainly, he replied.~And what is that process?~
20 Phaedo|         by the case of sleep, he replied. You know that if there
21 Phaedo|          is what I would say, he replied:—We should agree, if I am
22 Phaedo|          thing.~Endless, indeed, replied Simmias.~And recollection
23 Phaedo|          we say so?~Say so, yes, replied Simmias, and swear to it,
24 Phaedo|         you are gone?~Hellas, he replied, is a large place, Cebes,
25 Phaedo|          the search.~The search, replied Cebes, shall certainly be
26 Phaedo|         digressed.~By all means, replied Socrates; what else should
27 Phaedo|       always the same, Socrates, replied Cebes.~And what would you
28 Phaedo|         one another?~The latter, replied Cebes; they are always in
29 Phaedo|         truly said, Socrates, he replied.~And to which class is the
30 Phaedo|        unalloyed?~Impossible, he replied.~She is held fast by the
31 Phaedo|        said Cebes.~No indeed, he replied; and therefore they who
32 Phaedo|         at such a time.~Socrates replied with a smile: O Simmias,
33 Phaedo|   insufficient.~In this respect, replied Simmias:—Suppose a person
34 Phaedo|        suppose that they will, I replied.~Not so, if you will take
35 Phaedo|         them? I said.~To-day, he replied, and not to-morrow, if this
36 Phaedo|        we become misologists, he replied, no worse thing can happen
37 Phaedo|         mean? I said.~I mean, he replied, as you might say of the
38 Phaedo|          that is very likely, he replied; although in this respect
39 Phaedo|          I said.~Yes, Phaedo, he replied, and how melancholy, if
40 Phaedo|       only?~Of a part only, they replied.~And what did you think,
41 Phaedo|      with the other?~Not at all, replied Simmias.~And yet, he said,
42 Phaedo|          the theme.~There ought, replied Simmias.~But there is no
43 Phaedo|          you retain?~I think, he replied, that I have a much stronger
44 Phaedo|          would be impossible, he replied.~And does not the nature
45 Phaedo|       within her?~I cannot tell, replied Simmias; but I suppose that
46 Phaedo|          them?~It must be so, he replied.~And yet do we not now discover
47 Phaedo|        enough from imagining, he replied, that I knew the cause of
48 Phaedo|       very much like to hear, he replied.~Socrates proceeded:—I thought
49 Phaedo|        understand me.~No indeed, replied Cebes, not very well.~There
50 Phaedo|    perishes in the change.~That, replied Cebes, is quite my notion.~
51 Phaedo|          we are quite agreed, he replied.~Yet once more let me ask
52 Phaedo|         or perish?~Very true, he replied.~And the fire too at the
53 Phaedo|         body alive?~The soul, he replied.~And is this always the
54 Phaedo|          she brings.~Impossible, replied Cebes.~And now, he said,
55 Phaedo|  abundantly proven, Socrates, he replied.~Supposing that the odd
56 Phaedo|    nothing is imperishable.~Yes, replied Socrates, and yet all men
57 Phaedo|        have nothing more to say, replied Simmias; nor can I see any
58 Phaedo| feebleness of man.~Yes, Simmias, replied Socrates, that is well said:
59 Phaedo|       put faith.~And I, Simmias, replied Socrates, if I had the art
60 Phaedo|       hearing.~And we, Socrates, replied Simmias, shall be charmed
