I may give a hint by quoting Pink Floyd, I suppose:

"the wall was too high, he could not break through..."

he in the quote being Prosaist. But he was trying to avoid the necessity of breaking through the newly built wall anyways.

Well, additional help, as it may be:

Prosaist in question was apt not to force his way through the wall, though he had appropriate means to, but to negotiate the share of what was behind the wall. The person he was addressing was behind said wall too.

I second that motion - it sounds like it should be a Gollum quote, beginning with "yes, yes" and including "master", but I have searched and not been able to find it.
