Dialogue

 1 Phaedr|         accepted rather than the lover—because he is more rational,
 2 Phaedr|          the non-lover (who is a lover all the same), he will enquire

 6 Phaedr|         if in the censure of the lover Socrates has broken out
 7 Phaedr|     passes into a philosopher or lover; that which has seen truth
 8 Phaedr|         of a philosopher or of a lover who is not without philosophy
 9 Phaedr|       pours over the soul of the lover; the germ of the wing unfolds,
10 Phaedr|          forward the soul of the lover follows the beloved in modesty
11 Phaedr|         love is better than the ‘lover’s.’~We may raise the same
12 Phaedr|          but the description, ‘a lover of honour and modesty and
13 Phaedr|           or the philosopher and lover in one, as a sort of madman,
14 Phaedr|        is more affected than the lover at the final consummation
15 Phaedr|      being tempted, but not by a lover; and this was the point:
16 Phaedr|         accepted rather than the lover.~SOCRATES: O that is noble

20 Phaedr|    reason, which is, that I am a lover of knowledge, and the men
21 Phaedr|      suit, because I am not your lover: for lovers repent of the
22 Phaedr|     beloved? If you say that the lover is more to be esteemed,
23 Phaedr|           in all probability the lover, who is always thinking
24 Phaedr|   opinion of mankind. Again, the lover may be generally noted or
25 Phaedr|    reason in being afraid of the lover, for his vexations are many,
26 Phaedr|      improved by me, whereas the lover will spoil you. For they
27 Phaedr|        he compels the successful lover to praise what ought not

29 Phaedr|        to reward you; nor to the lover only, but to those who are
30 Phaedr|      point: friends admonish the lover under the idea that his
31 Phaedr|          reply that not even the lover would advise you to indulge
32 Phaedr|          the indiscretion of the lover? These are the commonplaces
33 Phaedr|        with the premiss that the lover is more disordered in his
34 Phaedr|     profoundly in earnest is the lover, because to tease him I
35 Phaedr|         I am conquered; the poor lover of discourse has no more
36 Phaedr|        non-lover rather than the lover; his words were as follows:—~‘
37 Phaedr|          question is whether the lover or non-lover is to be preferred,
38 Phaedr|           Now in what way is the lover to be distinguished from
39 Phaedr|         likely to ensue from the lover or the non-lover to him
40 Phaedr|        to him, and therefore the lover will not brook any superiority
41 Phaedr|     necessarily a delight to the lover, and when not implanted,
42 Phaedr|         to be the delight of the lover’s heart, and a curse to
43 Phaedr|      curse to himself. Verily, a lover is a profitable guardian
44 Phaedr|          friends and also of his lover, and certainly not the terror
45 Phaedr|  guardianship and society of his lover in the matter of his property;
46 Phaedr|      point to be considered. The lover will be the first to see
47 Phaedr|       are very pleasant. But the lover is not only hurtful to his
48 Phaedr|          to be grievous. Now the lover is not only unlike his beloved,
49 Phaedr|      into daily contact with his lover; moreover he is jealously

51 Phaedr|         in the friendship of the lover there is no real kindness;
52 Phaedr|        uttering a censure on the lover? And if I am to add the
53 Phaedr|          advantages in which the lover is accused of being deficient.
54 Phaedr|       that ‘ceteris paribus’ the lover ought to be accepted rather
55 Phaedr|         speak the praises of the lover, and Lysias shall be compelled

70 Phaedr|       Desire, overflows upon the lover, and some enters into his
71 Phaedr|      blindness from another; the lover is his mirror in whom he
