Dialogue

 1 Repub|      gymnastics for the body, and music for the soul. ~True. ~Shall
 2 Repub|           we begin education with music, and go on to gymnastics
 3 Repub|             And when you speak of music, do you include literature
 4 Repub|           said that we must teach music before gymnastics. ~Quite
 5 Repub|          sorts of rhythms, if the music and the style are to correspond,
 6 Repub|      friend, I said, that part of music or literary education which
 7 Repub|          and which are not set to music; both will conform to the
 8 Repub|    together; even the panharmonic music is only an imitation of
 9 Repub|        youth should be trained in music and on the grounds which
10 Repub|            he said. ~Thus much of music, which makes a fair ending;
11 Repub|         what should be the end of music if not the love of beauty? ~
12 Repub|          I agree, he said. ~After music comes gymnastics, in which
13 Repub|  Certainly. Gymnastics as well as music should begin in early years;
14 Repub|        twin sister of that simple music which we were just now describing. ~
15 Repub|        gymnastics which, like our music, is simple and good; and
16 Repub|    disease; whereas simplicity in music was the parent of temperance
17 Repub|      educated only in that simple music which, as we said, inspires
18 Repub|       Neither are the two arts of music and gymnastics really designed,
19 Repub|          an exclusive devotion to music? ~In what way shown? he
20 Repub|            And, when a man allows music to play upon him and to
21 Repub|           deal, then the power of music weakening the spirit renders
22 Repub|     reverse of a great student of music and philosophy, at first
23 Repub|    intention. ~And he who mingles music with gymnastics in the fairest
24 Repub|          of themselves and of the music which they have learned,
25 Repub|           should be directed-that music and gymnastics be preserved
26 Repub|           says that when modes of music change, the fundamental
27 Repub|  foundations of their fortress in music? ~Yes, he said; the lawlessness
28 Repub|          play, and by the help of music have gained the habit of
29 Repub|   soldiers, and educating them in music and gymnastics; we were
30 Repub|           the united influence of music and gymnastics will bring
31 Repub|           assigned to the men was music and gymnastics. Yes. ~Then
32 Repub|         Then women must be taught music and gymnastics and also
33 Repub|      women's attainments, both in music and gymnastics, and above
34 Repub|      musician, and another has no music in her nature? ~Very true. ~
35 Repub|    nothing unnatural in assigning music and gymnastics to the wives
36 Repub|          this is what the arts of music and gymnastics, when present
37 Repub|         whether in painting or in music, or, finally, in politics,
38 Repub|            But what do you say of music, what also entered to a
39 Repub|          into our former scheme? ~Music, he said, as you will remember,
40 Repub|           harmony in them. But in music there was nothing which
41 Repub|          in your recollection; in music there certainly was nothing
42 Repub|           Undoubtedly; and yet if music and gymnastics are excluded,
43 Repub|      muses, first by undervaluing music; which neglect will soon
44 Repub|      honored gymnastics more than music. ~Undoubtedly, he said,
45 Repub| Philosophy, I said, tempered with music, who comes and takes up
46 Repub|           he will, if he has true music in him. ~And in the acquisition
47 Repub|      stripped of the colors which music puts upon them, and recited
