[157] τὸ παραπλήσιον οὖν ἐν ψυχῇ πάντως ἄγνοια ἐργάζεται τὰ βλέποντα καὶ ἀκούοντα αὐτῆς
λυμαινομένη καὶ μήτε φῶς μήτε λόγον παρεισελθεῖν ἐῶσα, τὸν μέν, ἵνα μὴ διδάξῃ, τὸ δέ, ἵνα μὴ δείξῃ τὰ ὄντα, βαθὺ δὲ σκότος καὶ πολλὴν ἀλογίαν καταχέασα κωφὴν λίθον τὸ περικαλλέστατον εἶδος ψυχῆς εἰργάσατο.

[157] And ignorance does produce completely similar effects on the soul, depriving it of its faculties of seeing and of hearing, and allowing neither light nor reason to enter into it, lest the one should instruct it and the other should exhibit the truth to it. But shedding upon it dense darkness and abundant folly, it renders the most beautiful soul a deaf, and dumb, and lifeless stone.
