Noêsis, - A - Restful - Gaze Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

It is a restful gaze,
a comprehensive vision
of some object of the mind,
a beholding that is
possible only because
the intellectual labor
of the previous stages
has been completed.

What is Plato getting at?
It is not so much that
he is simply advocating
a method of investigation
or discovery.

It is not, that is,
as if he is saying,
"If you want to grow in
your knowledge,
then you should
implement this method."
