You rendered a good point Bradly: I cant see that
anyone else has taken it up and stood upon it.
The Riviere family so lived to say that everything
hurt all the time. Well, that defeaning voice, which
was confounded by silence, gathered force, and,
finally, was liberated by 'the trenchent of
lightening' which the 'divine impatience' armed Pierre
Riverrie with. This voice, 'the voice of derangement',
was reduced to silence by a discourse which spoke over
the top of it (and pronounced, in its name, a
discourse, that of madness and badness, which was to
be taken as its own); if this voice, that of
derangment, constituted a 'breech without
reconciliation', then the voice which filled that
defeaning silence (i.e., the doctors and lawyers
discourse) must be understood as affecting the return
from which it represented a departure...
