Yes, Allen, sometimes we forget that Socrates is not the mouthpiece of Plato
(he who calls) but a moment in the "conversation of the soul" that is
thinking (both call and re-call); thus to get into hearing the call one must
get into conversational gear as it were... the whole piece of music, not
just the composer, the conductor, the performers. An ear for an eye?
