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.

Funny, I bought another used, hardbound copy this last year to re-read.  It's always been one of my favorites.  You know it's kind-of nice being able to re-read books after a couple of decades because your memory isn't perfect.
