Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): And then, when he took note and observed how every window of the place was shut, it seemed to him his heart grew cold as frost; and so, with an altered, deathly pale face, he passed on by without a word, and, as God would have it, he rode so fast that no one caught sight of his face.
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): それとともに、彼はその屋敷という窓という窓が閉ざされているのをよく注意して見届けた時、心が霜のように冷たくなると思われた。そのために詩人のような青ざめた顔に変わり、言葉なく、屋敷のそばから離れて行った。ありがたいことに、急いで馬を進めたので、誰にも顔を見られなかった。
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 又见窗户也关住，他的心冷得像冰霜一般；脸色变成死灰似的，只得默默然赶着马过去，他那时的面容如何，谁也没有看见。
