Footnotes

  1. 56 The expression is “years of number,” meaning that they can be counted, and so “the years are few.” The verb simply means “comes” or “lie ahead.”
  2. 57 The verbal expression “I will not return” serves here to modify the journey that he will take. It is “the road [of] I will not return.”
