Watership Down is one of my favorite books. Time to reread.

A quote from his most famous novel accompanied the announcement – “It seemed to Hazel that he would not be needing his body any more, so he left it lying on the edge of the ditch, but stopped for a moment to watch his rabbits and to try to get used to the extraordinary feeling that strength and speed were flowing inexhaustibly out of him into their sleek young bodies and healthy senses.”

RIP Richard Adams
