NET © Notes

1 tn 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 tn 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.”
