The analyses of a text #2
The protagonist, Philip, came to Paris to become a painter.
He goes to the studio Amitrano.
.................................................
Philip, too, looked into the future, and he saw Clutton in twenty years, bitter, lonely, savage, and unknown; still in Paris, for the life there had got into his bones, ruling a small cenacle with a savage tongue, at war with himself and the world, producing little in his increasing passion for a perfection he could not reach; and perhaps sinking at last into drunkenness.
[Of Human Bondage by Somerset Maugham]
1. I'd like to know if "there" is omitted before "there."
2. And I'd like to know what "get into one's bones" means.
Thank you in advance for your help.

park sang joonSo I was wondering it is natural that a clause is between phrases.It seems to me that 'for' (=because) introduces the clause that is the rest of the sentence ( or at least 'for...reach'). Don't get too preoccupied with the punctuation; they used semicolons rather freely 100 years ago.
