| Garbo's face, still, white, perfect, like a mask, resembles the timeless Platonic ideal of beauty as it exists in the mind of God. |
| The novel has no Platonic form, and there is certainly no requirement that writers adhere to a formula or set of rules. |
| It would not have been difficult for him to find Greek copies of Platonic dialogues at either Carthage or Rome, where he taught for a time. |
