   Spelling nazis should have noticed that "the rest   
   can be born in patience and fortitude" should have   
   been "the rest can be borne in patience and   
   fortitude." I must be into dotage.

   "be borne in on be borne in upon (of a fact) to be   
   realized by (someone): it was borne in on us how   
   close we had been to disaster."   
      
   Very close to "it dawns on".   
      
   In awakening, I suppose that it is borne in on the   
   person how defence, specially self-deception, has   
   been useless and worse than useless. That's all.   
   Even if it is an earth-shaking realisation.
