 8 Phaedr|         anything more which you desire or which in your opinion
 9 Phaedr|     divulged even at my earnest desire. Only, as you say, promise
10 Phaedr|         one sees that love is a desire, and we know also that non-lovers
11 Phaedr|       know also that non-lovers desire the beautiful and good.
12 Phaedr|        will; one is the natural desire of pleasure, the other is
