Their form is like the form of horses, and they are running like war-horses. Like the sound of war-carriages they go jumping on the tops of the mountains; like the noise of a flame of fire burning up the grain-stems, like a strong people lined up for the fight. At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together. They are running like strong men, they go over the wall like men of war; every man goes straight on his way, their lines are not broken. No one is pushing against another; everyone goes straight on his way: bursting through the sword points, their order is not broken. They make a rush on the town, running on the wall; they go up into the houses and in through the windows like a thief.
