The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy: in his Greek--in the Greek of the dramatists particularly.
So fatigued was he sometimes after his day's work that
he could not maintain the critical attention necessary
for thorough application. He felt that he wanted a coach--
a friend at his elbow to tell him in a moment what sometimes
would occupy him a weary month in extracting from unanticipative,
clumsy books.
It was decidedly necessary to consider facts a little more closely
than he had done of late. What was the good, after all, of using up
his spare hours in a vague labour called "private study" without giving
an outlook on practicabilities?
