Plato Quotes

So I Took Up Those Poems With Which They Seemed To Have Taken Most Trouble And Asked Them What They Meant, In Order That I Might At The Same Time Learn Something From Them. I Am Ashamed To Tell You The Truth, Gentlemen, But I Must. Almost All The Bystanders Might Have Explained The Poems Better Than Their Authors Could. I Soon Realized That Poets Do Not Compose Their Poems With Knowledge, But By Some Inborn Talent And By Inspiration, Like Seers And Prophets Who Also Say Many Fine Things Without Any Understanding Of What They Say.
