"text": "One enquired as follows about the soul from \r\nNicostratus, that second Aristotle, that equal of \r\nPlato, the straw-splitter of the loftiest philosophy. \r\n“ How should we describe the soul, as mortal or \r\nrather immortal? Must we call it a body or in- \r\ncorporeal? Is it to be classed among intelligible \r\nor apprehensible things, or is it both ? ” But he \r\nperused again his books of metaphysic and Aris- \r\ntotle’s work on the Soul, and having renewed his \r\nacquaintance with Plato’s sublimity in the Phaedo, \r\narmed himself from every source with the complete \r\ntruth. Then, wrapping his cloak about him and \r\nstroking down the end of his beard, he gave utter-\r\nance to the solution : “ If the soul has in truth any \r\nnature (for even that I don’t know) it is in any case \r\neither mortal or immortal, either of a solid nature or \r\nimmaterial ; but when you have passed over Acheron, \r\nthere you shall learn the precise truth like Plato. \r\nOr, if you will, imitate the boy Cleombrotus of Am- \r\nbracia, and let your body drop from the roof. Then \r\nyou would at once recognise what you are, being \r\nwithout a body, and with nothing left you but the \r\nthing you are enquiring into.”",
