My brother Bob doesn't want to be in government -- he promis

Summary

In this quote, the speaker is explaining that their brother, Bob, does not have any interest in being involved in politics or holding a government position. The reason for Bob's disinterest is cited as a promise made to their father, indicating that he has committed to leading a law-abiding and righteous life, free from any potential corrupt influences that may come with being in government.

Waste forces within him, and a desert all around, this man stood still on his way across a silent terrace, and saw for a moment, lying in the wilderness before him, a mirage of honourable ambition, self-denial, and perseverance. In the fair city of this vision, there were airy galleries from which the loves and graces looked upon him, gardens in which the fruits of life hung ripening, waters of Hope that sparkled in his sight. A moment and it was gone. Climbing to a high chamber in a well of houses, he threw himself down in his clothes on a neglected bed, and its pillow was wet with wasted tears.
