OINOS. Pardon, Agathos, the weakness of a spirit new-fledged with immortality AGATHOS. You have spoken nothing, my Oinos, for which pardon is to be demanded. Not even here is knowled-ge thing of intuition. For wisdom, ask of the angels freely, that it may be given OINOS. But in this existence, I dreamed that I should be at once cognizant of all things, and thus at once be happy in being cognizant of all. AGATHOS. Ah, not in knowledge is happiness, but in the acquisition of knowledge In for ever knowing, we are for ever blessed; but to know all were the curse of a fiend.
