"Surely now, since we have been at an impasse, you
yourselves make it appear fittingly to us what you
wish to signify when you utter 'being'. For indeed
as you think on these of ancient, we were assuming
before this, now we have been at an impasse. Thus,
first teach this to us ourselves that we not opine
to be learned in speakings of you" [Sophist 244a].

"And indeed, both as of ancient and as of now, and
being eternally searched of and eternally being at
an impasse, What is 'being'?" [Metaphysics 1028b].

That there is some question already indicates that
there is an impasse of some sort: of the searched,
in the searching, or in an interaction of the two.

How is an impasse to come pass? That what is being
said now has somehow already been spoken of before
such that it became so near, obvious, and assumed.

How are presumptive sayings both presently fitting
and thought anciently as spoken over time? Opinion
as talking without going through things to things?
