Many of them, sick with fright after the accident, shaken by nervous tremors, soaked in cold sweats, and the prey of continual nightmares, got up in spite of everything, and were as eager as any in their desire to fight against the earth, as though they had a revenge to take on it.
Beaucoup, malades de frayeur apres l'accident, agités de tremblements nerveux, trempés de sueurs froides, dans l'obsession de continuels cauchemars, se levaient quand meme, se montraient les plus enragés a vouloir se battre contre la terre, comme s'ils avaient une revanche a prendre.
