İngilizce Yunanca

306 Y. Soc. Yes, of course.

306 Str. And do you remember in what way they praise them as occasion offers?

306 Y. Soc. Not in the least.

306 Str. I wonder if I can express to you in words what I have in mind.

306 Y. Soc. Why not?

306 Str. You seem to think that is an easy thing to do. However, let us consider the matter as it appears in the opposite classes. For example, when we admire, as we frequently do in many actions, quickness and energy and acuteness of mind or body or even of voice, we express our praise of them by one word, courage.

306 Y. Soc. How so?

306 Str. We say acute and courageous in the first instance, also quick and courageous, and energetic and courageous; and when we apply this word as a common term applicable to all persons and actions of this class, we praise them.

306 Y. Soc. Yes, we do.

307 Str. But do we not also praise the gentle type of movement in many actions?

307 Y. Soc. We do, decidedly.

307 Str. And in doing so, do we not say the opposite of what we said about the other class?

307 Y. Soc. How is that?

307 Str. We are always saying How quiet! and How restrained! when we are admiring the workings of the mind, and again we speak of actions as slow and gentle, of the voice as smooth and deep, and of every rhythmic motion and of music in general as having appropriate slowness; and we apply to them all the term which signifies, not courage, but decorum.

307 Y. Soc. Very true.

307 Str. And again, on the other hand, when these two classes seem to us out of place, we change our attitude and blame them each in turn; then we use the terms in the opposite sense.

307 Y. Soc. How is that?
