49 In a country...very complicated rules to keep healthy: when different persons possess different parts of the Moral Law (or Tao), these in differing degrees, and no one possesses all of it, then clearly the moral theology that deals adequately with this situation must be a complex one; the logic of this undoubtedly helped draw Lewis toward traditional Christianity; the point is echoed in Mere Christianity with reference to persons suspicious of theology because of its complexity and subtlety; they would prefer just one simple rule.

50 captain of my soul and master of my fate well-worn lines from William Ernest Henley's poem "Invictus" (=unconquered).

61 immortal longings: Shakespeare: Anthony and Cleopatra: V, ii, 283: all of Mr. Sensible's elegant language is a rehash of bits and pieces he has from elsewhere; when he is not quoting consciously he is doing so unconsciously: the "lengthening of the shadow" and "the turning of the leaf" may well also be from some standard author, as possibly many more phrases in this episode.

62 ulterior shore compare Aeschylus: Seven Against Thebes (1.859): "The shore invisible, the bourne of all".

63 Et ego in Arcadia - "I too was (or 'am') in Arcadia"; this anonymous line is found on numerous tombs, and also on paintings in which tombs are seen: among these, ones by Bartholommeo Schidoni, Nicolas Poussin, and on Sir Joshua Reynold's portrait of Mrs. Crewe; the line is usually interpreted to mean: "I also have lived in Arcady (a lovely rural place in Greece) therefore I also am an idealist;" this is Mr. Sensible's meaning; but it has been taken to mean also, either (1) "I, the dead person, though in the tomb, am still in Arcady," or (2) "I, Death, come even into Arcady."

68 Eadem sunt omnia semper - see unlocated quotations, at the end.

69 the unchanging heart: Lewis was interested in the "doctrine of the unchanging human heart" and expressed his disagreement with it in a chapter thus entitled in A Preface to Paradise Lost; the phrase may have been suggested by Browning: Sordello, II: "Would you have your songs endure?

94 sehnsucht Ger = yearning, longing.

95 Nympholepsy emotional frenzy.

96 dwarfs a very important concept in many of Lewis's writings; they personify creatures who are rational and even partly human, but have either lost, or never had, a fully human soul, and hence are really a separate race, often an earlier one.

97 Marxomanni a play on the Latin Marcomanni, a germanic tribe pushed by the Romans from Moravia into Bohemia; Lewis is intentionally lumping together the "black shirts" (the Nazis and Fascists were in their heyday when The Pilgrim's Regress was being written) and the "red shirts" under the aegis of Karl Marx; fascists or communists, they are all "dwarfs".

98 Grimhild an invented name in the pattern of Brunhild and Kriemhild in the Nibelungenlied; there is a minor character, Grim, in one of the Icelandic sagas, but it is a man.

So evil songs ne'er sung of us shall be"; Shakespeare: Henry V, IV, iii, 49-58: "Old men forget, yet all shall be forgot...This story shall the good man teach his son...From this day to the ending of the world..."

endlessly perplexed

With impulse, motive, right and wrong, the ground

Of obligation, what the rule and whence

The sanction; till, demanding formal proof,

And seeking it in everything, I lost

All feeling of conviction, and in fine,

Sick, wearied out with contrarieties,

Yielded up moral questions in depair.

This was the crisis of that strong disease.

This is soul's last and lowest ebb; I drooped,

Deeming our blessed reason of least use

Where wanted most;
