    Summary

    When old age shall this generation waste,
    Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
    Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,
    'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
    Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'

    Plato's Symposium has a few holes in it.

    Summary

    It would have been easier to love their wives.
