Excerpt from According to Plato Well, that wasn't quite what was in my mind. I suppose that to have the Homeric attribute of nodding scarcely makes one a Homer? If it did there would be no need for people to learn Greek. But you must forgive me for dis trusting your Mr. Richmond. No, I shouldn't make use of so strong a word - I don't distrust him. What I mean to say is that I am rarely convinced by a man who is so scrupulous about his coats. Genius - in man - is rarely found in association with silk linings where silk linings are not imperative.
