Kathmandu & A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal

Marzipan, Corn-on-the-cob, Love story comics, Reader's Digest

The author mentions buying 'a bar of marzipan, a corn-on-the-cob roasted in a charcoal brazier, a couple of love story comics, and even a Reader's Digest.' Tibetan prints are mentioned as available in shops but not purchased by the author.

False

The author considers the overland route but rejects it because he is 'too exhausted and homesick.' Instead, he buys a plane ticket for the next day's flight.

Human fears

The first stanza clearly states 'A slumber did my spirit seal- I had no human fears.' The poet was in a state where normal human anxieties did not affect him.

The touch of earthly years

In the first stanza, the poet says 'She seemed a thing that could not feel / The touch of earthly years.' This suggests she appeared timeless and unaffected by aging or worldly concerns.
