 7 Intro|        to whom the love of the fair mind was the noblest form
 8 Text |        of wisdom plenteous and fair; whereas my own is of a
 9 Text |   Seeing that Pausanias made a fair beginning, and but a lame
10 Text |        soul of man towards the fair, or towards anything, but
11 Text |        who is able to separate fair love from foul, or to convert
12 Text |     tale has to be repeated of fair and heavenly love—the love
13 Text |    love—the love of Urania the fair and heavenly muse, and of
14 Text |       mighty god, and likewise fair; and she proved to me as
15 Text |      showing, Love was neither fair nor good. ‘What do you mean,
16 Text |      that be foul which is not fair?’ ‘Certainly,’ I said. ‘
17 Text |        said, ‘that what is not fair is of necessity foul, or
18 Text |       that because love is not fair and good he is therefore
19 Text |    that the gods are happy and fair—of course you would—would
20 Text |   possessors of things good or fair?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘And you admitted
21 Text |         desires those good and fair things of which he is in
22 Text |      in what is either good or fair?’ ‘Impossible.’ ‘Then you
23 Text |        anything but tender and fair, as the many imagine him;
24 Text |    always plotting against the fair and good; he is bold, enterprising,
25 Text |      above all when he finds a fair and noble and well-nurtured
26 Text |       of that he should create fair thoughts; and soon he will

29 Text |       relation or at one place fair, at another time or in another
30 Text |      another place foul, as if fair to some and foul to others,
31 Text |       two, and from two to all fair forms, and from fair forms
32 Text |       all fair forms, and from fair forms to fair practices,
33 Text |         and from fair forms to fair practices, and from fair
34 Text |       fair practices, and from fair practices to fair notions,
35 Text |     and from fair practices to fair notions, until from fair
36 Text |       fair notions, until from fair notions he arrives at the
37 Text |        gold, and garments, and fair boys and youths, whose presence
38 Text |  allowed to speak to any other fair one, or so much as to look
39 Text |   those of sober men is hardly fair; and I should like to know,
40 Text |      you how fond he is of the fair? He is always with them
41 Text |       me, just as if he were a fair youth, and I a designing
42 Text |      most divine, abounding in fair images of virtue, and of
