| Quotation | Walked in the snow after dinner and read a little about St. Bede. There are so many things to read! Snell on the Discovery of the Mind (in Ancient Greece) is enthralling but yet unsatisfactory. Too simplified. We have oversimplified Classical Greece. Only Cornford satisfies me as having approached its true complexity. |
