But, you know, neither "kept urging forward" nor "urging forward" is the same as "on and on". I must be looking at it from the wrong angle...

Ari
How about, keep = to adhere to (Chambers); then 'kept' = adhered to.
So, a hundred adhered to on & on. Eh?

Oh! And the other bit. Urging forward = (shouting) On and on!" (in a battle charge) ???

Hm. I just think there should always be a grammatical parallel, and I still don't see one. Nitpicking, surely, but curious...

Oh!

Actually Ari, I see your point. I, too, am a bit of a stickler like that.

My experience of battle charges is not comprehensive, but perhaps only the most grammatically correct warrior would urge fellow combatants forward with the words "On and On", rather than "On! On!"?

OK, that works, I suppose. Urging forward=on! on!- with a bit of license. Don't see why kept is past tense- parenthetical past participle perhaps? Oh well, Conon won't mind.

And I'm sure you're being modest about your exploits on the battlefield. I can hear you now- "No! No!"

But CONAN might!
