Don’t have to be a cryptographer to figure this episode out.
This was written in 50’s “gay” code. Man mysteriously leaves his wife and home.
No warnings, no clues. Turns out he’s going on an extended sea cruise with a man he met in San Francisco. Quotations from the greek classics….. The love that dare not speak its name is never named or spoken of, but there are several long pauses in the dialogue. This topic had to be dealt with peripherally and obliquely, via the phone call and the wife’s tearful reaction.
BTW, I found a quote of the quote on archive.org
in “Crisis of the House Divided: An Interpretation of the Issues
in the Lincoln-Douglas Debates”.
For example, there is the following passage from Plato’s
dialogue Gorgias, spoken by a character named Callicles, who is
a follower of the teacher of oratory for whom the dialogue is
named and who holds the view Lincoln appears to attribute to
the Caesar-type:
. . . the makers of laws are the majority, who are weak; and
they make laws and distribute praises and censures with a
view to themselves and to their own interests; and they terrify
the stronger sort of men, and those who are able to get the
better of them, in order that they may not get the better
of them; and they say, that dishonesty is shameful and
unjust; meaning, by the word injustice, the desire of a man
to have more than his neighbors; for knowing their own
inferiority, I suspect they are too glad of equality . . . whereas
nature herself intimates that it is just for the better to have
more than the worse, die more powerful than the weaker
. . . Nay but these are the men [i.e., tyrants and conquerors]
who act according to nature; yes, by Zeus, and according
to the law of nature: not, perhaps, according to that artificial
law, which we invent and impose upon our fellows, of whom
we take the best and strongest from their youth upwards,
and tame them like young lions,charming them with the
sound of the voice, and saying to them, that with equality
they must be content, and that the equal is honorable and
just. But if there were a man with sufficient force, he would
shake and break through, and escape from all this; he would
trample under foot all our formulas and spells and charms,
and all our laws which are against nature: the slave would
rise in rebellion and be lord over us, and the light of natural
justice would shine forth. 12
I don’t think that was Lincoln quoting Plato, just the author showing off his book-larnin’.
