	Simplon Pass - LoveToKnow 1911
		Not known early save as a purely local route, the Simplon Pass rose into importance when Napoleon caused the carriage road to be built across it between 1800 and 1807, though it suffered a new eclipse on the opening of the Mont Cenis (1871) and St Gotthard railways (1882).
		The pass proper starts from Brieg (Swiss canton of the Valais), which is in the upper Rhone valley and 902 m.
		The road descends past the Swiss village of Simplon, and passes through the wonderful rock defile of Gondo before entering Italy at Iselle (28 m.

	Miall -- Wordsworth at the Simplon Pass
		The Alps Deferred: Wordsworth at the Simplon Pass
		I suggest that history, in Liu's sense, is not at issue either in the Simplon Pass passage or in those that surround it: not the French Revolution, nor the subsequent presence of Napoleon on these very Alpine passes.
		The pattern of response at the Simplon, however, is made somewhat enigmatic by the dropping of the cave passage.

	_ Simplon pass tunnel Switzerland guide
		The road over the Simplon Pass (2005m), southwest of Brig, was built by Napoleon as a military through route between 1800 and 1808, immediately after he’d successfully crossed the Grand-St-Bernard with an army.
		These days the old pass road is a modern, Swiss-engineered highway, and the pass itself isn’t really worth a specific journey, with views nowhere near as impressive as those from the other great Alpine passes.
		While you’re standing on the pass heights, give a thought for those careering at speed on trains through the Simplon Tunnel, some 2400m beneath the Wasenhorn peak just to the east.

	Wordsworth's Route Over the Simplon in 1790: A Reconstruction - Scholarly Resources - Romantic Circles
		A new hospice is to be erected, as soon as the passage shall have been completely opened; and every traveller will be entitled to a pound of bread and a cup of wine, and to such other assistance as he may stand in need of" (20).
		From the Simplon Pass (2006m) the trail descends gradually to the Old Spittel (1870m), then further down through delightful forests, meadows, and hamlets, such as Maschihüs (pic 13), through Simplon village (1572m) (pic 14) and down to the hamlet of Gabi (1228m) (pic 15).
		The reason why Wordsworth may have been misled into thinking that he had not yet crossed the Alps is that during the four hour walk from the pass to Gabi, one faces this mountain, which, in bad weather particularly, does indeed seem "lofty" (1850 VI 548).

	Miall -- Prelude: Abstract 9
		The very appropriateness of this passage does, however, pose a danger of considerable magnitude and it is a danger that arises from the ease with which literary criticism has been able to confer an emblematic status on this passage.
		Through fastidious scrutiny of the popular phrase "unfathered vapour" and conjunctions, similes, dashes and other discursive devises, he questions the initial (and sometimes assumed absolute) meaning assigned to the words in order to put language into a historical context that mirrors or "reflects" the movement of meaning and of the characters involved.
		While the examination of the discourse is imperative to the argument and sometimes insightful, I often found myself lost in the ambiguity and lack of clarity without a way of recovering the original thought.

		The Road over the Bernina Pass: During the Middle Ages, merchants led horse- and donkey-drawn caravans over this pass, risking their lives to carry supplies between what are now the German-speaking and Italian-speaking regions of Switzerland.

		The Simplon was barely passable in 1800, when Napoleon made it his routebetween France and Italy.
		It took Napoleon's 30,000 men six years and five million kilos of gunpowder to blast through the massive mountain walls, and to build the 653 bridges over ravines and chasms that were needed to make the road continuous.
		Travelling from the cold air of the high Alps into the warmth of Italy, carriages lurched and lumbered along vertiginous routes carrying travellers clutching their Baedeker, Bradshaw or Murray guidebooks, which hastened to reassure them that the world ahead was free of the 'perils of precipices and robbers' presently surrounding them.
