Prophecy question
I have a question about one line in the prophecy and wanted to know if anyone knew what it meant or knew where I could find the answer in the book. It is the line that says "The first shall bury his heart in a dark wood beneath the snow, yet still feel its ache." Does anyone think that this part of the prophecy came true or maybe it's one of the things that didn't change on Vinculus. Just wondering if anyone knew.

Susannah addressed this in the Guardian UK forums chat, saying that it specifically referred to Norrell's kinship with Jonathan Strange:
"This is a prophecy about Norrell’s character. He thinks he has no need of anybody. Hates people. Is scared of them. But when he meets Strange he finds a friend, his only friend. It’s that simple. The friendship is an odd one since much of the time neither man perceives it as such. When Norrell casts Strange away (buries his heart) he is incomplete. When they come together again, he realises that this friendship is all that matters and he gives up all other plans."
