Brother raises a hand against brother and son against father (how terrible! ) and the father also against son. And moreover it is a continuity-matter, for if the father did not strike the son, they would not be alike. It is done to perpetuate similarity. Oh, Henderson, man cannot keep still under the blows..

No man shall get it from him, and that is a sublime ambition. Saul Bellow
