-History is absolutely rotten with instances of men who didn't know when they were beaten. Journalists prate glibly of unconquerable determination", "unwavering resolution", "unyielding spirit" - good ponderous, resonant phrases usually signifying practically nothing. Somebody who has a line of men's pants to sell advertises with the slogan "Men of Stamina''. Yes, the admiration of the whole world is directed to and lavished on the man of iron will, he who will endure untold hardship (another lovely old cliche, commonly used to introduce a harrowing story which certainly loaves nothing untold).

I say "my" official trip but, to be exact I. was the misguided creature who volunteered its leadership when the original author feared it may coincide with his annual holidays.
