He is very aware of the beauty of the upper world and he compares them to cattle in a field. He morns too the loss of human intellect. The rich, assured of his wealth, and the poor, of his toil. He heads to the white sphinx and strangely finds the door beneath the plinth open. He chuckles, and walks through the opening. He sees his time machine and is impressed to see that it has been cleaned and oiled, suspecting that the Morlocks took it apart and put it together again to try to understand the mechanism. The doors close behind him, confirming his suspicion, and he goes to strike a match. The matches are the kind that need the box in order to light, and he is swarmed by the Morlocks. He fights his way to the saddle in the dark and punches several while struggling to put the lever in place. He pushes the lever, and the world falls around him while he heads further and further into the future, away from his enemy.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, sees a Victorian scientist send himself forward to the year 802,701 AD. He is delighted to find that suffering has been replaces by beauty and happiness, and a "new man", the Eloi, has descended from man. Science Fiction book, Sci-fi, Classic Literature
