Evidence: | 'Mr S- came in before 2.0 and gave me an interesting reading - here and there - from Dixon's "Hellas Revisited". Now and then he would mouth a passage from the Greek and the Latin and our eyes would meet in wondering approval - "That's great", we would say simultaneously - equally lost in admiration and translation.' |
