[on an exceptionally shrewd police inspector]
diminished the power of his vision by holding the object too close. He could see, probably one or two circumstances with unusual clarity, but in doing so lost total vision necessarily the case. This may be called the defect of being too deep. The truth is not always at the bottom of a well. Actually, I think, about what matters most to know, is invariably superficial. The depth lies in the valleys where we seek, but not in the tops of the mountains, where we see it.
