[229a]

Socrates
Let us turn aside here and go along the Ilissus; then we can sit down quietly wherever we please.

Phaedrus
I am fortunate, it seems, in being barefoot; you are so always. It is easiest then for us to go along the brook with our feet in the water, and it is not unpleasant, especially at this time of the year and the day.

Socrates
Lead on then, and look out for a good place where we may sit.

Phaedrus
Do you see that very tall plane tree?

Socrates
What of it?
