can suffer & endure & still do - if you know Kipling's poem "If" you will understand when I say I have seen that exemplified a hundred times. The rashness of this war & the apparent impossibility of its ending in anything but an "as you were" is also borne in on me. The only victory that I can expect is the one that will require a great deal of argument to prove it.
