For some reason this reminded me that Tolkien drew on his experiences in the trenches of WWI for writing the Mordor chapters. Veterans of that war often referred to the sameness of day after day at the front in miserable, filthy, dangerous conditions. They just seemed to blur together after awhile, punctuated by terror. That sounds like a good description of 'The Land of Shadow' in Book VI.
