"It is possible I am pushing through solid rock, like the vein of ore encased, alone. I am such a long way in I can see no way through and no space.

Logs and rocks are still when in a secure place, but roll on an incline; they remain stationary if square, they roll if round. Therefore, when people are skillfully led into battle, the momentum is like that of round rocks rolling down a high mountain - this is force."
