In the transcript of Foucaultās lecture Plutarch is cited in a footnote: āA good plan, as it seems to me (Ć) is that which painters follow: they scrutinize their productions from time to time before they finish them. They do this because, by withdrawing their gaze and by inspecting their work often, they are able to form a fresh judgement, and one which is more likely to seize upon any slight discrepancy, such as familiarity of uninterrupted contemplation will concealā (āOn the control of angerā, trans. W.C.Helmbold, 452f-453m)
