From The Clouds by Aristophanes

any · philosophical · 54 sec

This man has a spirit not void of courage, but prompt. Know, that if you learn these matters from me, you will possess among mortals a glory as high as heaven. (Strep: What shall I experience?) You shall pass with me the most enviable of mortal lives the whole time. (Strep: Shall I then ever see this?) Yea, so that many be always seated at your gates, wishing to communicate with you and come to a conference with you, to consult with you as to actions and affidavits of many talents, as is worthy of your abilities. (To Socrates.) But attempt to teach the old man by degrees whatever you purpose, and scrutinize his intellect, and make trial of his mind.
