grc plotinus enneads

Καὶ ἡ πρόχειρον ἔχουσα τὸν ἔρωτα ὑπόμνησιν οὐ περιμένει ἐκ τῶν καλῶν τῶν τῆιδε, ἔχουσα δὲ τὸν ἔρωτα, καὶ ἂν ἀγνοῆι ὅτι ἔχει, ζητεῖ ἀεὶ καὶ πρὸς ἐκεῖνο φέρεσθαι θέλουσα ὑπεροψίαν τῶν τῆιδε ἔχει, καὶ ἰδοῦσα τὰ ἐν τῶιδε τῶι παντὶ καλὰ ὑποψίαν ἔχει πρὸς αὐτά, ὅτι ἐν σαρξὶ καὶ σώμασιν ὁρᾶι αὐτὰ ὄντα καὶ μιαινόμενα τῆι παρούσηι οἰκήσει καὶ τοῖς μεγέθεσι διειλημμένα καὶ οὐκ αὐτὰ τὰ καλὰ ὄντα μὴ γὰρ ἂν τολμῆσαι ἐκεῖνα οἷά ἐστιν εἰς βόρβορον σωμάτων ἐμβῆναι καὶ ῥυπᾶναι ἑαυτὰ καὶ ἀφανίσαι.
