Translation: "The Prose." 32. +Transliteration: ousia achrômatos, aschêmatistos, anaphês. E-text editor's translation: "the colorless, utterly formless, intangible essence." Plato, Phaedrus 247c. See also Appreciations, "Coleridge," where Pater uses the same quotation. 33. +Transliteration: aphasia. Liddell and Scott definition: "speechlessness." 34. +Transliteration: to on. Translation: "that which is." 35. +The principle is that of Baruch Spinoza. 36. +Transliteration: Kosmos.

Pater's translation: "this is the path to persuasion, for truth goes along with it." Parmenides, Epeôn Leipsana [Fragmentary Song or Poem], line 36. Fragmenta Philosophorum Graecorum, Vol. 1, 118. Although I have left the quotation as Pater renders it, the semicolon should be a comma, as in the Mullach collection Pater used--otherwise the first half of the sentence would be a question, and that is not how Pater himself translates the verse. 39. +Transliteration: tên dê toi phrazô panapeithea emmen atarpon; oute gar an gnoiês to ge mê eon ou gar ephikton. Pater's translation: "I tell you that is the way which goes counter to persuasion: That which is not, never could you know: there is no way of getting at that."
