Yet, this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs.The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, and he was condemned for not

43、 believing in the recognized god and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.Socrates method of teaching was ask question and, by pretending not to know the answers, to

They wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he ac

45、cepted death so readily.Socrateshad the right to ask for a lesser penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him.

49、h-east coast which gently curves from Northumberland to the estuary of the river Tees, there was a spot, typical of many on that coast, where sea-coal collected richly and effortlessly. This coal was a coarse powder, clean and brilliant. It seemedto bear little resemblanceto the large, filthy lumps

Although it was coal, it was perfectly clean and it was silently deposited at high tide in a glittering carpet a kilometer long for the local community to gather up.The great needed for sea-coaling expeditions was a curious and traditionally proven assortment which never varied fr

51、om community to community along the entire north-east coastline. Sacks were essential to put the coal in, and string to tie the neck of each sack when it was full.
