The passage explicitly names Plato and attributes to him a specific teaching ('Plato cries that...') used to support the argument, treating him as an authoritative source.
Hence it is that Plato cries that the wise man's soul leans wholly toward death, wills this, meditates this, and is ever borne by this desire as it stretches toward the things outside.
