Re: AFTERTHOUGHTS: Plato in Pale Fire

JM: A complicated line of associations carried us from Pushkin's nut-case to
the spherical Platonic half-beings. In the horizon, a serendipity with moon
and earth and sun. After all, as it has just occurred to me, wouldn't
Plato's role towards Socrates, in the "Symposium," be somehow similar to
Boswell/Johnson and Kinbote/Shade?
David Powelstock writes: I would say that Kinbote's orbit around Shade
better reflects that of Alcibiades around Socrates.
