<< Shades of Sisyphus here, then. Your ending seems to suggest some
kind of victory or achievement though in all this toil, so not quite so
pointless as the Sisyphusian myth. Is that your point? That endless struggle
is rewarding? In itself? Or have they really reached a goal? Or is it the
illusion that their is a goal which we might reach if we keep trying which is
the cause of their satisfaction and cheering?
Some lingistic points I´d query. Do we `heave´ muscles? Or `achieve´ a quest?
And I think `start´ in line 2 should have an article, the same as `the top´.
I hope these points are useful. >>
