Plato.

Opening the July Anthropologie catalogue this afternoon, I saw, page 4, this quote:
Is is not the form that dictates the color, but the color that brings out the form. – Hans Hofmann
and immediately thought of what we’ve been reading in Greek:
εστω γαρ δη ημιν τουτο σχημα, ο μονον τυγχανει χροματι αει επομενον.
for, indeed, let this be shape, as far as we are concerned: that which alone happens to accompany color.
