There was a fissure in him from the start; the dream and the business did not march together; his will was not always the servant of his intelligence; he was an agonist, a slef-tormentor, who ran to meet suffering halfway.
fissure : 갈라진 틈
march : 진행하다, 발전하다
servant : 하인
tormentor : 괴롭히는 사람
run to : 어떤 상태에 빠지다
He was an agonist. He would argue one way; he would argue another; he just didn’t want to see bigotry thrive or watch a man die.
