Socrates
However, my friend, let us not yet give it up, for I still have hopes that what the beautiful is will be made clear.Hippias
Certainly, to be sure, Socrates, for it is not hard to find. Now I know that if I should go away into solitude and meditate alone by myself, I could tell it to you with the most perfect accuracy.Socrates
Ah, don't boast, Hippias. You see how much trouble it has caused us already; I'm afraid it may get angry and run away more than ever.
