>Dearest friend, do you not see
>All that we perceive
>Only reflects and shadows forth
>What our eyes cannot see
>Dearest friend, do you not hear
>In the clamour of everyday life
>Only the unstrung echoing fall of
>Jubilant harmonies
Vladimir Soloviev, 1892
>In several dialogues, Socrates inverts the common man's intuition about what is knowable and what is real. Reality is unavailable to those who use their senses. Socrates says that he who sees with his eyes is blind. While most people take the objects of their senses to be real if anything is, Socrates is contemptuous of people who think that something has to be graspable in the hands to be real. In the Theaetetus, he says such people are eu amousoi (εὖ ἄμουσοι), an expression that means literally, "happily without the muses".[84] In other words, such people are willingly ignorant, living without divine inspiration and access to higher insights about reality.
