An agreement was soon reached, and Columbus accepted his commission with
tears of joy.
At this juncture, however, one of the queen's advisers hurried into her presence,
and put the case so earnestly that she sent a swift courier to call Columbus.
In disgust, Columbus mounted his mule, and started once more for France.
He was a man of learning and, on conversing with Columbus, arranged a meeting
of other learned men including the well-known sea-captain, Martin Alonzo Pinzon,
who lived in Palos.
The plans of Columbus appealed so strongly to this sea-captain that he promised
not only to furnish money for an expedition, but to accompany it himself.

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
