Please, let me know.
Hi, everyone,
Nowadays, I study american novel.
but, some of words are very difficult to me.
Please let me know about this sentence.
"My journey, as thou callest it, forth and back again, must needs be done 'twixt now and sunrise."
in this sentence, I don't know what "forth and back again" means. and why the sentence use callest instead of
call.
if anyone knows that, please teach me.
thanks in advances.
