Casaubon's talk about his great book was full of new vistas; and this sense of revelation, this surprise of a nearer introduction to Stoics and Alexandrians, as people who had ideas not totally unlike her own, kept in abeyance for the time her usual eagerness for a binding theory which could bring her own life and doctrine into strict connection with that amazing past, and give the remotest sources of knowledge some bearing on her actions.
The minimum time was about two minutes (I'd have caved in after 20 seconds) but some stoics sat there for up to six or seven minutes.
Are these stoics just born that way?
