To the fertility of his genius, and the excel-
lence of his disposition, Plato himself has given testi-
mony ; and he did the greatest honor to that testimony
in his life: for though he had been educated in servile
principles under a tyrant, though he had been famili-
arised to dependence on the one hand, and to the in-
dulgence of pomp and luxury, as the greatest happi-
ness, on the other, yet he was no sooner acquainted
with that philosophy which points out the road to vir-
tue, than his whole soul caught the enthusiasm, and,
with the simplicity of a young man who judges of the
dispositions of others by his own, he concluded that
Plato's
lectures
would have the same effect on Diony-
sius: for this reason he solicited, and at length per-
suaded the tyrant to hear him.

Sloterdijk - Rage and Time |

sculpture, and before the end of the century both arts had become
responsive to the demand of the time, and had entered upon that
course of triumph which was not to end till, three centuries later,

exclusive autocracy of the printed page.

Stephen Crane - War is Kind |

Ærial clouds, thro' heav'n's resplendent plains who wander, parents of prolific rains;
Who nourish fruits, whose water'y frames are hurl'd, by winds impetuous, round the mighty world;
All-thund'ring, lion-roaring,
flashing
fire, in Air's wide bosom, bearing thunders dire
Impell'd by ev'ry stormy, sounding gale, with rapid course, along the skies ye fail.

So that your joy may be deeper on finding Italy's skies.
