Footnote 110: Mountains and glaciers. Footnote 111: So in original. Footnote 112: “Angst”—literally, “dread” or “terror”—probably means here something like “conviction of sin.” The influence of the Danish theologian, Sören Kierkegård, may be traced in this passage. Footnote 113: Literally, “Are set on screws.” Footnote 114: “Tolder,” the biblical “publican.” Footnote 115: See footnote, p. 95. Footnote 116: A mountain in the Jotunheim. The name means “glittering peak.” Footnote 117: “Den tid den sorg”—literally, “That time that sorrow” or “care.” Footnote 118: Literally “the bushel.” See note, p. 11. Footnote 119: See Appendix.
