[165] σκιὰ πραγμάτων ἄρ’ ἦσαν, οὐ πράγματα, μίμησις ἐναργείας, οὐκ ἐνάργεια τρανοῦσα τὸ ψεῦδος. ὡς γὰρ τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὀνείροις φανέντων οὐδὲν περιαναστάντες
εὑρίσκομεν, ἀλλ’ οἴχεται πάντα ἀθρόα διαπτάντα, οὕτως καὶ τὰ λαμπρὰ ἐκεῖνα, οἷς ποτε ἐνωμίλησα, ἐσβέσθη βραχυτάτῃ καιροῦ ῥοπῇ.“

[165] These things were but a shadow and no real things, imitations of reality and not a real truth, which makes falsehood evident; for as after we have awakened we find none of those things which appeared to us in our dreams, but all such things have fled in a body and disappeared, so too, all that brilliant prosperity which I formerly enjoyed has now been extinguished in the briefest moment of time."
