ABSTRACT This essay explores the ways in which frames allow what lies within them to shine forth with exceptional brilliance. It deals, first of all, with the frames of paintings but then is devoted primarily to the kinds of frames that can enclose discourse. Detailed attention is given to the framing constituted by multiple, telescoping reports of a conversation or event. Such framing as it occurs in several Platonic dialogues is investigated in detail. All translations are by the author, though standard translations have been consulted.
