  7 Repub|      Suppose now that there were two such magic rings, and the
  8 Repub|       them is the happier of the two. ~Heavens! my dear Glaucon,
  9 Repub|       the other, as if they were two statues. ~I do my best,
 10 Repub|         I am in a strait between two; on the one hand I feel
 11 Repub|       wanting in either of these two qualities; and yet the combination
 12 Repub|   traditional sort?-and this has two divisions, gymnastics for

 20 Repub|  speaking. ~These, then, are the two kinds of style? ~Yes. ~And
 21 Repub|         replied. ~And do not the two styles, or the mixture of
 22 Repub|    styles, or the mixture of the two, comprehend all poetry,
 23 Repub|       styles, or one only of the two unmixed styles? or would
 24 Repub|  acquiescing in the event. These two harmonies I ask you to leave;
 25 Repub|     perhaps a combination of the two; for I am not certain what
 26 Repub|          beautiful form, and the two are cast in one mould, that
 27 Repub|       the same question you join two things which are not the
 28 Repub|        he said. ~Neither are the two arts of music and gymnastics
 29 Repub|          said. ~And as there are two principles of human nature,
 30 Repub|    should say, has given mankind two arts answering to them (
 31 Repub|       body), in order that these two principles (like the strings
 32 Repub|         then decide which of the two is the happier. At present,
 33 Repub|       that be? ~There seem to be two causes of the deterioration
 34 Repub|       difficulty where there are two of them. ~How so? he asked. ~
 35 Repub|      would easily be a match for two stout and well-to-do gentlemen
 36 Repub|       will be able to fight with two or three times their own
 37 Repub|         an embassy to one of the two cities, telling them what
 38 Repub|          is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor,
 39 Repub|          are right, he replied. ~Two virtues remain to be discovered
 40 Repub|       you will find one of these two conditions realized; for
 41 Repub|      educated. ~Very true. These two, as you may perceive, have
 42 Repub|      theory. The friction of the two when rubbed together may
 43 Repub|         I proceeded to ask: When two things, a greater and less,
 44 Repub|      fairly assume that they are two, and that they differ from
 45 Repub|         determine that there are two principles existing in the
 46 Repub|      desire, as though they were two distinct things. ~Yes; that
 47 Repub|         soul, there will only be two, the rational and the concupiscent;
 48 Repub|        true, he said. ~And these two, thus nurtured and educated,
 49 Repub|     principle of reason, and the two subject ones of spirit and
 50 Repub|        which may be said to have two names, monarchy and aristocracy,
 51 Repub|       replied. ~But I regard the two names as describing one
 52 Repub|        both. ~You imply that the two questions must be combined,
 53 Repub|        in any way. For there are two guardians, shame and fear,
 54 Repub|    foreign; and the first of the two is termed discord, and only
 55 Repub|       thing only, or, if not, of two; at any rate, let the changes
 56 Repub|   opposite of ugliness, they are two? ~Certainly. ~And inasmuch
 57 Repub|         And inasmuch as they are two, each of them is one? ~True
 58 Repub|        must ask you which of the two classes should be the rulers
 59 Repub|      question? ~Whichever of the two are best able to guard the
 60 Repub|    Imagine, then, that there are two ruling powers, and that
 61 Repub|          which has been cut into two unequal parts, and divide
 62 Repub|      proportion, and suppose the two main divisions to answer,
 63 Repub|         manner? ~Thus: There are two subdivisions, in the lower
 64 Repub|        end; in the higher of the two, the soul passes out of
 65 Repub| bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two
 66 Repub|        two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming
 67 Repub|         if possible. ~There were two parts in our former scheme
 68 Repub|    matter of distinguishing one, two, and three-in a word, number
 69 Repub|          objects of sense are of two kinds; some of them do not
 70 Repub|      announced to her are one or two. ~True. ~And if they turn
 71 Repub|       And if they turn out to be two, is not each of them one
 72 Repub|        each is one, and both are two, she will conceive the two
 73 Repub|       two, she will conceive the two as in a state of division,
 74 Repub|        truth seen. Now there are two classes of persons: one
 75 Repub|        at once with which of the two you are proposing to argue.
 76 Repub|        Why, yes, I said, and for two reasons: in the first place,
 77 Repub|         forms, and not one only; two of them are obvious enough
 78 Repub|      persons. ~But where are the two? ~There is a second, I said,
 79 Repub|        others insisting that the two sounds have passed into
 80 Repub|          to have four divisions; two for intellect and two for
 81 Repub| divisions; two for intellect and two for opinion, and to call
 82 Repub|           the period, whether of two or three years, which passes
 83 Repub|          in what manner will the two classes of auxiliaries and
 84 Repub|       the third power, furnishes two harmonies; the first a square
 85 Repub|    fractions, sc. 50) or less by two perfect squares of irrational
 86 Repub|          discord arose, then the two races were drawn different
 87 Repub|          a State is not one, but two States, the one of poor,
 88 Repub|         with himself; he will be two men, and not one; but, in
 89 Repub|        of eating is necessary in two ways; it does us good and
 90 Repub|      liberty and equality of the two sexes in relation to each
 91 Repub|          just comparison. ~These two classes are the plagues
 92 Repub|        when, after pacifying the two irrational principles, he
 93 Repub|           But when either of the two other principles prevails,
 94 Repub|       pleasures, one genuine and two spurious: now the transgression
 95 Repub|         are many others in which two or more different natures
 96 Repub|     mercy of either of the other two; and he is not to attempt
 97 Repub|         Yes. ~But there are only two ideas or forms of them-one
 98 Repub|          in nature and one only; two or more such ideal beds
 99 Repub|          even if He had made but two, a third would still appear
100 Repub|        the ideal bed and not the two others. ~Very true, he said. ~
101 Repub|       But when a man is drawn in two opposite directions, to
102 Repub|      affirm, necessarily implies two distinct principles in him? ~
103 Repub|   painter, for he is like him in two ways: first, inasmuch as
104 Repub|        place at which there were two openings in the earth; they
105 Repub|       and over against them were two other openings in the heaven
106 Repub|        given on them; and at the two other openings other souls,
