Scholarly Remarks and Key Set Data

Remarks

8. At the very bottom of a deep, dark chasm. —
The very thought of which causes a spasm, —
Lies the unfortunate Mountaineer;
List, how his groans strike on the ear!
How wonderful, then, when we called the roll
’Nary an individual had been left in the hole.
