Stranger

Str. But surely it was no dream that made me say we should find somewhere in this region those who more than others lay claim to the art of statesmanship; and yet it would be utterly absurd to look for them in any servile position.

Younger Socrates

Younger Socrates

Y. Soc. At least they seem to be so.
