Thompson, I would slave over it until the small hours of the morning and then, to his disgust and my unspeakable mortification find that my work was valueless, that I had not seized the fundamental points of the case, or that I had built all my arguments on some misapprehension of the law.

"You would go to the root of the matter."
When one came to think of ONE'S SELF, there was vista and void enough for any amount of bleak abnegation and bitter truth.
