Dialogue

 1 Repub|      Cephalus, chanced to catch sight of us from a distance as
 2 Repub|     quite panic-stricken at the sight of him. ~He roared out to
 3 Repub|         eye may be deficient in sight or the ear fail of hearing,
 4 Repub|     proper excellence, which is sight; but I have not arrived
 5 Repub|       goods, such as knowledge, sight, health, which are desirable
 6 Repub|        his flock. Amazed at the sight, he descended into the opening,
 7 Repub|        for their own sakes-like sight or hearing or knowledge
 8 Repub|    perplexity; for we have lost sight of the image which we had
 9 Repub|      completely overcome at the sight of Here that he would not
10 Repub|         amusement; and at first sight it appears harmless. ~Why,
11 Repub|       light and temperance lost sight of; and therefore I wish
12 Repub|     steal away, and pass out of sight and escape us; for beyond
13 Repub| therefore and strive to catch a sight of her, and if you see her
14 Repub|      take your fill of the fair sight. ~I have heard the story
15 Repub|        spirit appeared at first sight to be a kind of desire,
16 Repub|        thing of all will be the sight of women naked in the palaestra,
17 Repub|        the barbarians, that the sight of a naked man was ridiculous
18 Repub|       his ridicule at any other sight but that of folly and vice,
19 Repub|       are able to attain to the sight of this. ~Very true. ~And
20 Repub|        by which we do as we do. Sight and hearing, for example,
21 Repub|      has a similar infirmity in sight, and his knowledge of navigation
22 Repub|   spirit, when they come within sight of the great difficulty
23 Repub|        the visible things? ~The sight, he said. ~And with the
24 Repub|      But have you remarked that sight is by far the most costly
25 Repub|        seen? ~How do you mean? ~Sight being, as I conceive, in
26 Repub|       bond which links together sight and visibility, and great
27 Repub|         May not the relation of sight to this deity be described
28 Repub|         follows? ~How? ~Neither sight nor the eye in which sight
29 Repub|      sight nor the eye in which sight resides is the sun? ~No. ~
30 Repub|   Exactly. ~Then the sun is not sight, but the author of sight
31 Repub|        sight, but the author of sight who is recognized by sight? ~
32 Repub|      sight who is recognized by sight? ~True, he said. ~And this
33 Repub|   visible world, in relation to sight and the things of sight,
34 Repub|         sight and the things of sight, what the good is in the
35 Repub|        see clearly and there is sight in them? ~Certainly. ~And
36 Repub|    previous instance, light and sight may be truly said to be
37 Repub|       to grow accustomed to the sight of the upper world. And
38 Repub|       out of the den, while his sight was still weak, and before
39 Repub|       acquire this new habit of sight might be very considerable),
40 Repub|    prison-house is the world of sight, the light of the fire is
41 Repub|      was not there before, like sight into blind eyes. ~They undoubtedly
42 Repub|        by degrees to endure the sight of being, and of the brightest
43 Repub|       implanting the faculty of sight, for that exists already,
44 Repub|       What is a finger? for the sight never intimates to the mind
45 Repub|   smallness of the fingers? Can sight adequately perceive them?
46 Repub|     adequately perceived by the sight or by any other sense, then,
47 Repub|        intelligence, but not by sight. ~True, he replied. ~The
48 Repub|     same time, we must not lose sight of our own higher object. ~
49 Repub|        but which the faculty of sight will nevertheless be found
50 Repub|        be found to imitate; for sight, as you may remember, was
51 Repub|        world, as in the case of sight at the end of the visible. ~
52 Repub|        light of the body to the sight of that which is brightest
53 Repub|      able to give up the use of sight and the other senses, and
54 Repub|       about colors to which the sight is liable. Thus every sort
55 Repub|         is this confined to the sight only, or does it extend
56 Repub|   rather, as in the instance of sight there were confusion and
57 Repub|        gathered strength at the sight of the misfortunes of others
58 Repub|     chose, and did not at first sight perceive that he was fated,
