A foreign writer has asked for assistance with locating the original work containing a Twain quote. He writes: "I am currently faced with a problem in a translation I have to make from German into English - which involves finding the original words to something a German author quoted [from Twain] What he said approximately was: And as soon as they had lost their goal, they doubled their efforts. (German: Und als sie ihr Ziel aus den Augen verloren, verdoppelten sie ihre Anstrengungen)" Any ideas on the original source of such a passage? Thanks, Barb
