1007 Repub| whole life show the greatest eagerness to do what is for the good
1008 Repub| who took the life of an eagle, because, like Ajax, he

1010 Repub| rumor, while we arm our earth-born heroes, and lead them forth
1011 Repub| pollute the divine by any such earthly admixture; for that commoner
1012 Repub| second. ~That, he said, is an easier task; and I have made them
1013 Repub| only half a man and far too easy-going: adding all the other complaints
1014 Repub| but will go on-the keen edge will not be blunted, nor
1015 Repub| another; the whorls show their edges on the upper side, and on
1016 Repub| then kindly answer, for the edification of the company and of myself? ~

1020 Repub| the other of softness and effeminacy, I replied. ~Yes, he said,
1021 Repub| rendered too excitable and effeminate by them. ~There is a real
1022 Repub| they ought to be wise and efficient, and to have a special care
1023 Repub| are just nests for their eggs, and in which they will

1026 Repub| When little things are elaborated with an infinity of pains,
1027 Repub| his wits, when years have elapsed, and the heyday of passion
1028 Repub| to be silent before their elders; how they are to show respect
1029 Repub| not a bad beginning of the elegiac verses which the admirer
1030 Repub| sacrifice not a common [Eleusinian] pig, but some huge and
1031 Repub| of the select class, and elevated to higher honor; and you
1032 Repub| ruler, not because he is eloquent, or on any ground of that
1033 Repub| denied. ~The one love and embrace the subjects of knowledge,
1034 Repub| those who knew one another embraced and conversed, the souls
1035 Repub| arts of the painter and the embroiderer will have to be set in motion,
1036 Repub| are full of them-weaving, embroidery, architecture, and every
1037 Repub| strict orders to prevent any embryo which may come into being
1038 Repub| State, they would some day emerge into light. ~Yes, he said,
1039 Repub| rough and ready cure; an emetic or a purge or a cautery
1040 Repub| or other raise a pang or emotion in a lover's breast, and
1041 Repub| bodyguard of love and share his empire. These in his democratic
1042 Repub| said. ~And why are mean employments and manual arts a reproach?
1043 Repub| will. ~And when they have emptied and swept clean the soul
1044 Repub| learns, will he not be an empty vessel? ~That is certain.
1045 Repub| son: at first he begins by emulating his father and walking in
1046 Repub| his head; and, if he is emulous of anyone who is a warrior,
1047 Repub| of justice in them, which enabled them to combine; if there
1048 Repub| one another. ~Then let us enact this law also for our guardians:
1049 Repub| swallowed us up alive for enacting that the guardians of either
1050 Repub| like other persons who are enamoured of something, but put a
1051 Repub| without; there let them encamp, and when they have encamped,
1052 Repub| deceives may be said to enchant. ~Therefore, as I was just
1053 Repub| also acknowledge that the enchanted are those who change their
1054 Repub| they are armed against all enchantments, and of a noble bearing
1055 Repub| said, we must try them with enchantments-that is the third sort of test-and
1056 Repub| instead of being the author of encomiums, he would prefer to be the
1057 Repub| doing just the reverse; the encouragement which you offer would have
1058 Repub| despises none of them, but encourages them all equally. ~Very
1059 Repub| his soul, the others are encouraging the passionate and appetitive;
1060 Repub| inquiry which is our final end-How do justice and injustice

1063 Repub| gone, life is no longer endurable, though pampered with all

1065 Repub| way with the just; he who endures to the end of every action
1066 Repub| hateful; in dealing with enemies-that would be an instance; or
1067 Repub| debt which he owes to his enemies-to say this is not wise; for
1068 Repub| dear Glaucon, I said, how energetically you polish them up for the
1069 Repub| understanding will devote the energies of his life. And in the
1070 Repub| this leads to a want of energy in the pursuit of them,
1071 Repub| coerces his bad passions by an enforced virtue; not making them
1072 Repub| let them range at will and engage in no serious labor, as
1073 Repub| Exactly. ~There complexity engendered license, and here disease;
1074 Repub| peasants at a festival, who are enjoying a life of revelry, not of
1075 Repub| enlarge; and this time the enlargement will be nothing short of
1076 Repub| figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened: Behold!
1077 Repub| whole soul is perfected and ennobled by the acquirement of justice
1078 Repub| wonderful calculation! And how enormous is the distance which separates

1080 Repub| all of them ought to be enrolled in a select number. ~At
1081 Repub| a good or bad result has ensued, and they rejoice or sorrow
1082 Repub| but half-villains in their enterprises; for had they been whole

1084 Repub| beauty, any more than the enthusiastic old men who, in spite of
1085 Repub| Then we will once more entreat Homer and the other poets
1086 Repub| can. ~Glaucon and the rest entreated me by all means not to let

1088 Repub| like case, whether he is envious and ambitious, or violent
1089 Repub| to the want of a suitable environment, for evil is a greater enemy
1090 Repub| there followed the soul of Epeus the son of Panopeus passing
1091 Repub| fault and not yours. As an epicure snatches a taste of every
1092 Repub| cured, or on occasion of an epidemic, but just because, by indolence

1094 Repub| motley and manifold and an epitome of the lives of many; he
1095 Repub| temperament, being always nearly equable, is not easy to imitate
1096 Repub| coursing, their gymnastic and equestrian contests? For these all
1097 Repub| pleasures and lives in a sort of equilibrium, putting the government

1099 Repub| godless and detestable? Eriphyle took the necklace as the
1100 Repub| seeking for truth, and not the eristic, who is contradicting for
1101 Repub| committed? ~Whenever an erroneous representation is made of
1102 Repub| no single one of them can escape-who will venture to affirm this? ~
1103 Repub| maintained out of his father's estate. ~You mean to say that the
1104 Repub| simpletons, and held in no esteem, while the busy-bodies are
1105 Repub| king the happiest. ~And in estimating the men, too, may I not
1106 Repub| behalf of justice that the estimation in which she is held by
1107 Repub| that nature is warped and estranged; as the exotic seed which
1108 Repub| children's puzzle about the eunuch aiming at the bat, with
1109 Repub| simplicity which is only an euphemism for folly? ~Very true, he
1110 Repub| tragedy is a wise thing and Euripides a great tragedian. ~Why
1111 Repub| his brothers Lysias and Euthydemus, and with them Thrasymachus
1112 Repub| by gradual processes of evacuation and infusion: he did not
1113 Repub| numerous, and various, and ever-changing army of his. ~If, he said,
1114 Repub| contrivances, and in the waging of everlasting wars-this State will be
1115 Repub| lying on couches at a feast, everlastingly drunk, crowned with garlands;
1116 Repub| thieves, or any other gang of evildoers could act at all if they
1117 Repub| never have rest from their evils-no, nor the human race, as
1118 Repub| increments by involution and evolution (or squared and cubed) obtaining
1119 Repub| the punishment which is exacted there of deeds done here
1120 Repub| about any impositions and exactions of market and harbor dues
1121 Repub| colored by contrast, which exaggerates both light and shade, and
1122 Repub| blame other things, equally exaggerating both, shouting and clapping
1123 Repub| amazing! ~Yes, I said, and the exaggeration may be set down to you;
1124 Repub| whose principles will be exalted by them when they set in
1125 Repub| corresponding to them, were worth examining. When we had seen all the
1126 Repub| by one they ascended with exceeding joy. These, said Er, were
1127 Repub| beauty of figures or pictures excellently wrought by the hand of Daedalus,
1128 Repub| he likes with the single exception that he is not to acquire
1129 Repub| even to this are there not exceptions? Suppose that a friend when
1130 Repub| chance, many of the souls exchanged a good destiny for an evil
1131 Repub| his anger refuses to be excited by them. ~True, he said. ~
1132 Repub| nothing here which invites or excites intelligence. ~There is
1133 Repub| recommends. But I hear someone exclaiming that the concealment of
1134 Repub| who pursue either to the exclusion of the other are compelled
1135 Repub| diligently and earnestly and exclusively for twice the number of
1136 Repub| was just now saying, most excusable. ~Yes, he said; and, I may
1137 Repub| that the inferior should execute-is he a ruler in the popular
1138 Repub| demonstrate that our plan, if executed, will be of the greatest
1139 Repub| leader, and courageously executing his commands and counsels? ~
1140 Repub| which were passed in bodily exercise-will that be enough? ~Would you
1141 Repub| and will not go to law, or exert himself in any way, but
1142 Repub| and makes a proposal to exhibit himself and his poetry,
1143 Repub| also to be prohibited from exhibiting the opposite forms of vice
1144 Repub| consorts with the many, and exhibits to them his poem or other

1146 Repub| such man could ever have existed? ~He would be none the worse. ~
1147 Repub| completed, which in short-lived existences pass over a short space,
1148 Repub| impatient at the length of your exordium. Well, then, tell me, I
1149 Repub| warped and estranged; as the exotic seed which is sown in a
1150 Repub| mean. We have been long expecting that you would tell us something
1151 Repub| kissed by him while the expedition lasts. So that if there
1152 Repub| And if they are unable to expel him, or to get him condemned
1153 Repub| afraid is he of awakening his expensive appetites and inviting them
1154 Repub| might he not, being an expert, overturn more than one
1155 Repub| that the Achaeans might expiate his tears by the arrows
1156 Repub| but whole cities, that expiations and atonements for sin may

1158 Repub| mention the importers and exporters, who are called merchants? ~
1159 Repub| inferiority can only be expressed in a figure. ~How do you
1160 Repub| at your desire, I have expressed-whether rightly or wrongly, God
1161 Repub| when any name will do which expresses the thought of the mind
1162 Repub| the other hand, when he is expressing his willingness to yield
1163 Repub| discover what rhythms are the expressions of a courageous and harmonious
1164 Repub| they do anything else, of expulsion from our State? Or is the
1165 Repub| to naught." ~We must also expunge the verse which tells us
1166 Repub| them would appreciate the exquisiteness of their workmanship, but
1167 Repub| not so temperance, which extends to the whole, and runs through
1168 Repub| must also have a similar extension given to them, if our legislation
1169 Repub| to be the vestibule and exterior of my house; behind I will
1170 Repub| fire; and they will not extinguish it either by restricting
1171 Repub| the very study which you extol. ~Well, and do you think
1172 Repub| positive enjoyment, are extolled by them as the greatest
1173 Repub| if it had not seemed too extravagant; for to be convinced that
1174 Repub| the perfect State would be eyed with jealousy and was difficult
1175 Repub| so small a matter in your eyes-to determine how life may be
1176 Repub| reverse of blind, but his keen eyesight is forced into the service

1179 Repub| natural gifts which will facilitate their education. ~And what
1180 Repub| rewards, might have greater facilities of intercourse with women
1181 Repub| afford an excuse for not facing the battle? Cowards skulk

1184 Repub| assign each to their proper faculty-the extremes to the faculties
1185 Repub| the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me
1186 Repub| about all that ruin and failure which I have been describing
1187 Repub| for the mind more often faints from the severity of study
1188 Repub| posterity, as they say, of the faithful and just shall survive to
1189 Repub| necessity more jealous, more faithless, more unjust, more friendless,

1191 Repub| even now makes the words falter on my lips, for he is the

1193 Repub| friend should use no other familiarity to his love than a father
1194 Repub| he is not to attempt to familiarize or harmonize them with one
1195 Repub| perfectly gentle to their familiars and acquaintances, and the

1200 Repub| general as it is to the farmer or sailor. ~I am amused,
1201 Repub| shortness of breath to proceed farther. ~True. ~But we are wandering
1202 Repub| Yes. ~And is not that farthest from reason which is at
1203 Repub| I knew all along that a fastidious gentleman like you would
1204 Repub| shut the gate of the King's fastness; and they will neither allow
1205 Repub| and will keep his dear old fatherland or motherland, as the Cretans
1206 Repub| private advisers offer the fatherly counsel of the aged will
1207 Repub| to the dining-table, they fatten and feed and breed, and,
1208 Repub| the shepherd or neatherd fattens or tends the sheep or oxen

1212 Repub| and sisters; if the lot favors them, and they receive the
1213 Repub| regime and indulges them and fawns upon them and is skilful
1214 Repub| such a one account death fearful? No, indeed. ~Then the cowardly
1215 Repub| which you propose, if only feasible, would do all sorts of good
1216 Repub| day-dreamers are in the habit of feasting themselves when they are
1217 Repub| are many ways in which the feat might be quickly and easily
1218 Repub| together; we are birds of a feather, as the old proverb says;
1219 Repub| soldier and has performed feats of arms; he is also a lover
1220 Repub| giving this and the other features their due proportion, we
1221 Repub| to the knowledge of human fecundity and sterility all the wisdom
1222 Repub| exercise and is a great feeder, and the reverse of a great
1223 Repub| pay because a man takes fees when he is engaged in healing? ~
1224 Repub| not suppose that he would felicitate himself on the change, and
1225 Repub| True. ~He is a shabby fellow, who saves something out
1226 Repub| Fellow-rulers. ~And what in ours? ~Fellow-guardians. ~Did you ever know an example
1227 Repub| wisdom of the den and his fellow-prisoners, do you not suppose that
1228 Repub| another in other States? ~Fellow-rulers. ~And what in ours? ~Fellow-guardians. ~
1229 Repub| going with himself or his fellow-sailors. ~Most true, he said. ~If,
1230 Repub| pilgrimage or a march, as fellow-soldiers or fellowsailors; aye, and
1231 Repub| march, as fellow-soldiers or fellowsailors; aye, and they may observe
1232 Repub| receiving the right hand of fellowship? ~To that too, I agree. ~
1233 Repub| mind has a soil deep and fertile, Out of which spring his
1234 Repub| on the earth's surface, fertility and sterility of soul and
1235 Repub| until they silently gather a festering mass of corruption in their
1236 Repub| unrefuted, let us never say that fever, or any other disease, or
1237 Repub| wish also to see a State at fever-heat, I have no objection. For
1238 Repub| of truth, are in the main fictitious; and these stories are told
1239 Repub| beast, all violence and fierceness, and knows no other way
1240 Repub| ascend; and then wild men of fiery aspect, who were standing
1241 Repub| of their lives to last? ~Fifteen years, I answered; and when
1242 Repub| beget children until he be fifty-five. ~Certainly, he said, both
1243 Repub| implement of war become a good fighter all in a day, whether with
1244 Repub| heaven, and of the plots and fightings of the gods against one
1245 Repub| dessert we shall give them figs and peas and beans; and
1246 Repub| are willing to command a file; and if they cannot be honored
1247 Repub| father be implied and the filial reverence and duty and obedience
1248 Repub| doubt. ~And when they are filling in the work, as I conceive,
1249 Repub| high condition of his body fills him with pride and spirit,
1250 Repub| reason in supposing that the finest natures, when under alien
1251 Repub| clearer: here are three fingers-a little finger, a second
1252 Repub| couches, and feast by the fireside, passing round the wine-cup,
1253 Repub| prefer the passionate and fitful temper, which is easily
1254 Repub| appear to differ in their fitness for any art or pursuit,
1255 Repub| forty; a man may begin at five-and-twenty, when he has passed the
1256 Repub| proceed to make a law which fixes a sum of money as the qualification
1257 Repub| the least provocation he flames up at once, and is speedily
1258 Repub| the narrow intelligence flashing from the keen eye of a clever
1259 Repub| conception of the science is in flat contradiction to the ordinary
1260 Repub| servility, and to be the flatterer of the vilest of mankind.
1261 Repub| names for diseases, such as flatulence and catarrh; is not this,
1262 Repub| and threw them down and flayed them with scourges, and
1263 Repub| pleasures of youth and love are fled away; there was a good time
1264 Repub| and harmonious soul will flee far away and never come
1265 Repub| pebbly Hermus's shore he flees and rests not, and is not
1266 Repub| pictures. Imagine then a fleet or a ship in which there
1267 Repub| incapable of counting his own fleet-how could he if he was ignorant
1268 Repub| of Homer, that child of flesh, whose name always makes
1269 Repub| has plenty of superfluous flesh-when he sees such a one puffing
1270 Repub| daughter, and that Agamemnon flew into a passion with him;
1271 Repub| they will stand firm or flinch. ~And how long is this stage
1272 Repub| but the other souls are flitting shades." ~Again: ~"The soul
1273 Repub| water or by land, whether he floats or only lies on his back. ~
1274 Repub| feed on barley-meal and flour of wheat, baking and kneading
1275 Repub| be old and miserable are flouted alike by stranger and citizen;
1276 Repub| the blood of deities yet flowing in their veins." ~And therefore
1277 Repub| when the real enemy has flown away and left only his fighting
1278 Repub| some reward or result which flows from them? ~There is, I
1279 Repub| all these admissions, not fluently, as I repeat them, but with
1280 Repub| fluteplayer will tell the flute-maker which of his flutes is satisfactory
1281 Repub| But what do you say to flute-makers and flute-players? Would
1282 Repub| say to flute-makers and flute-players? Would you admit them into
1283 Repub| in use; for example, the fluteplayer will tell the flute-maker
1284 Repub| and thirsts, and feels the flutterings of any other desire, may
1285 Repub| being the intermediate flux which is caught and detained
1286 Repub| Musical amateurs, too, are a folk strangely out of place among
1287 Repub| that beauty is unable to follow-of such a one I ask, Is he
1288 Repub| should regard me rather as a follower who has just eyes enough
1289 Repub| with such tales, even more fondly than they mould the body
1290 Repub| And at the same time their fondness for money makes them unwilling
1291 Repub| most need to be sure of my footing, and drag my friends after
1292 Repub| thieves, burglars, cut-purses, footpads, robbers of temples, man-stealers
1293 Repub| father and walking in his footsteps, but presently he sees him
1294 Repub| word "interest," which you forbade me to use. It is true, however,
1295 Repub| necessity also, because some law forbids you to hold office or be
1296 Repub| pauper and rogue, which are forcibly kept down by his general
1297 Repub| and he is filled with dark forebodings. But to him who is conscious
1298 Repub| ironical style! Did I not foresee-have I not already told you,
1299 Repub| of war cannot be always foreseen; there is a good deal of
1300 Repub| to know, as far as human foresight can, what expeditions are
1301 Repub| them owe money, some have forfeited their citizenship; a third
1302 Repub| not. ~And again, if he is forgetful and retains nothing of what
1303 Repub| lament over his choice, forgetting the proclamation of the
1304 Repub| one. See, too, I said, the forgiving spirit of democracy, and
1305 Repub| appetites in process of formation, and there is in him any
1306 Repub| desires grow up many and formidable, and their demands are many. ~
1307 Repub| the soul as a centre and forming one kingdom under the ruling
1308 Repub| own have fallen away and forsaken her, and while they are
1309 Repub| always accustoming the soul forthwith to apply a remedy, raising
1310 Repub| durance and come into a fortune-he takes a bath and puts on
1311 | forty
1312 Repub| Their maintainers and foster-fathers. ~And what do they call
1313 Repub| but wolves, would be a foul and monstrous thing in a
1314 Repub| only; he will commit the foulest murder, or eat forbidden
1315 Repub| class will temperance be found-in the rulers or in the subjects? ~
1316 Repub| our guardians must lay the foundations of their fortress in music? ~
1317 Repub| knowledge in our recently founded State among any of the citizens
1318 Repub| he sees him of a sudden foundering against the State as upon
1319 Repub| trail the subtle and crafty fox, as Archilochus, greatest
1320 Repub| by all of us when we were framing the State. The principle,
1321 Repub| vehement manner, as I must frankly confess to you, because
1322 Repub| city full of freedom and frankness-a man may say and do what
1323 Repub| they will make an end of frauds in contracts, and the other
1324 Repub| as Sophocles says, we are freed from the grasp not of one
1325 Repub| and ugliness, continue to frequent the gymnasia. ~Yes, indeed,
1326 Repub| head back and study the fretted ceiling, you would still
1327 Repub| trial of the theory. The friction of the two when rubbed together
1328 Repub| faithless, more unjust, more friendless, more impious, than he was
1329 Repub| satisfactory manner; you frightened us by interposing objections,
1330 Repub| in hating himself and his fruitless occupation? Yes. ~Then a
1331 Repub| unjust, and offer of the fruits of injustice; for if we

1333 Repub| guardian of their lives and the fulfiller of the choice: this genius
1334 Repub| or tenor Lydian, and the full-toned or bass Lydian, and such
1335 Repub| as he was lying on the funeral pyre, he returned to life
1336 Repub| into his soul through the funnel of his ears those sweet
1337 Repub| had escaped from a mad and furious master. His words have often
1338 Repub| than gold is proved in the furnace, that we may discover whether
1339 Repub| raised to the third power, furnishes two harmonies; the first
1340 Repub| sofas and tables and other furniture; also dainties and perfumes
1341 Repub| man he is, and making a fuss about his troubles; he thinks
1342 Repub| she desires; there is a gadfly which goads her, and she
1343 Repub| s own loss and another's gain-these things we shall forbid them
1344 Repub| and evil men, would be the gainer, however large might be
1345 Repub| he said, we shall be the gainers. ~If her defence fails,
1346 Repub| proved we shall surely be the gainers-I mean, if there is a use
1347 Repub| will altogether fail of gaining much reputation in any? ~
1348 Repub| and thieves, or any other gang of evildoers could act at
1349 Repub| upward, and whether a man gapes at the heavens or blinks

1353 Repub| listened to sweet sounds and gazed upon fair colors, but would

1355 Repub| only from tradition and the genealogies of the poets; and these
