That is my view completely, and I accept it as stated.Socrates
Then accept also the presence of another workman in our souls at such a time.Protarchus
What workman?Socrates
A painter, who paints in our souls pictures to illustrate the words which the writer has written.Protarchus
But how do we say he does this, and when?Socrates
When a man receives from sight or some other sense the opinions and utterances of the moment and afterwards beholds in his own mind the images of those opinions and utterances.
