The Lost Dialogues: Mr Socrates

Michael Katz overhears Socrates’ private dialectic.

Socrates: Hello, Socrates. With no moon tonight I hardly recognized you.

SOCRATES: That’s a silly thing to say – but I suppose old men can be allowed a bit of foolish talk.

Socrates: I’m only talking because it’s so quiet. There’s not a soul stirring here in the marketplace.
