=98-101=.  So unstable is the hold of the “snow-beds” on the mountain sides that travellers passing beneath them are forbidden by the guides to speak, lest their voices precipitate an avalanche.  See ll. 160-169, Sohrab and Rustum.

=117-123=.  What human frailties are indicated in the answer to the host’s question?  Note the contrast in the succeeding lines.

=124-144=.  The imagery of these lines is drawn from Dr. Arnold’s life at Rugby.  Under his care frequent excursions were made into the neighboring Westmoreland Hills.  Nothing perhaps gives a better idea of the man than the description of his “delight in those long mountain walks, when they would start with their provisions for the day, himself the guide and life of the party, always on the lookout how best to break the ascent by gentle stages, comforting the little ones in their falls and helping forward those who were tired, himself always keeping with the laggers, that none might strain their strength by trying to be in front with him; and then, when his assistance was not wanted, the liveliest of all—­his step so light, his eye so quick in finding flowers to take home to those who were not of the party.”—­ARTHUR PENRHYN STANLEY.

=171.  In the rocks=.  That is, among the rocks.

=190.  Ye=.  Antecedent?

=208.  City of God=.

  “There is a river the streams whereof shall make glad the city of
  God.”
          
                                      —­Psalms, xlvi:  4.
