THERSITES AND PLATO.
Alice Werner translation
Plato once had a bad cold—so bad that it was evident to every one. Thersites imitated his way of coughing, and said:
“Am I not just like Plato?”
However, this was not the worst—any man is free to ask a question. The worst of it was that thousands upon thousands of people immediately replied, “Just so. Hurrah for Thersites, the new philosopher!”
The man founded a school on the spot. And, therefore: Cave, caveto, caveto, cavete, cavetote, caveunto!
Multatuli.
