Quote context

- I almost lost my head with the pain as I ran, knocking ants from my body, brushing them from my bloodied face.

- And then one bit me just below the rim of my goggles. I managed to tear it away, but the agony of the bite and its venom drilled into the eye nerves.

- I saw now through circles of fire into a milky mist. I was almost blinded, but I knew that if I tripped and fell...

- I ran on, my heart pounding as if it would burst, blood roaring in my ears, a giant's fist battering my lungs.

- Then, I could see dimly that wall of flame at the ditch. But it was too far away. I could not last half that distance.

- I stumbled and fell. I felt myself being swarmed over... devoured!

- Tried to rise... A great weight... Then suddenly the vision of the half-devoured stag in my brain.

- Six minutes, then nothing but bones. I couldn't let it happen to me! I couldn't die like that!

- To my feet. To my feet. Dragged myself forward, toward the flame.

- The ditch! The ring of flames! Closer, now! Only a little further!

- It seemed we had waited for hours, when all at once, through the blazing ring around us, an apparition hurtled and fell full length on the ground.

I knew that intelligence, directed aright, always makes man the master of his fate.
You don't know these ants! I tell you, you don't know these ants!
