The thunder of horses’ hooves grows ever louder, but, still, I do not move. The thunder of those hooves, the thudding of my heart, and the gasping in my lungs make such a cacophony, it’s a wonder I hear Edmund at all.

About This Quote

When you hear the thunder of horses' hooves, it's natural to jump out of fear. But, when you know what is coming, you can prepare yourself for it. There are moments in life when you can predict what is going to happen. You can predict the thunder of horse's hooves, the thudding of your heart and the gasping in your lungs.

It's not so much that you can predict these things, but more that you know they are coming. There are certain situations where you must stand strong and not move an inch no matter what happens around you.
