Now a god’s mind is nourished by intelligence and pure knowledge, as is the mind of any soul that is concerned to take in what is appropriate to it, and so it is delighted at last to be seeing what is real and watching what is true, feeding on all this and feeling wonderful, until the circular motion brings it around to where it started. On the way around it has a view of Justice as it is; it has a view of Self-control; it has a view of knowledge — not the knowledge that is close to change, that becomes different as it knows the
different things which we consider real down here. No, it is the knowledge of what really is what it is.
Plato, Phaedrus
