Huge foreshadowing from A House Divided?
I haven't seen anyone talk about this on here, I actually made a post about this on Tumblr a while ago, so I decided to explain what I heard from Sarita that seems to foreshadow possible events that could happen in Wellington.
When Sarita and Sarah are seen decorating the tree in the lodge, Sarita begins to sing her favorite holiday song, "Good King Winceslas". This is her exact quote after Sarah asks about the song:
"Well, it's about a king that brings food to a poor man. The king and his servant march all night through a cold winter storm to reach the man. The storm is very strong. After a long time, it gets so cold that the servant can't go on, but the king tells the servant to just step in his tracks." She then begins singing part of the song: "Mark my footsteps, good my page, tread thou in them boldly. Thou shalt find the winter's rage, freeze thy blood less coldly."
Sarah says she doesn't get it. Sarita explains that it means doing good for others can be good for you too. Then, Sarah says "But the servant wouldn't have been out there in the first place if the king hadn't made him."
I really think this is a major foreshadowing. I think Telltale wanted us to listen to it, too, because they interrupt Clem when she's talking about how she hasn't seen a tree since everything happened. I'd like to hear what you think all this means. Maybe the king and servant traveling to reach "The man" means going all night to find Wellington. So in other words, Wellington = "The Man"? What do you think?

I do think there was a thread about this a whole ago, but good observations nonetheless.
Here's the full song:

And while Wellington is "the man" I believe Kenny could be the king, since he's the one who desires to go there, maybe Clementine too? since she and Christa were heading to Wellington. The servant could be anyone who's reluctant about going there. This is pretty interesting!
That line made me terrified of episode 5.
Wow, that's an awesome find! I love how Telltale puts secret things in the game. Maybe it'll be something like, Clementine and Kenny being the only survivors hiking to Wellington in a blizzard and Kenny will sacrifice himself to help Clementine reach Wellington.
How about this one:
"Sire, the night is darker now,
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart I know not how,
I can go no longer".
These words go before the "Mark my footsteps, my good page...", might be a foreshadowing for something, if we follow the OP's logic.
Stap your making me scared!
He he. xD
About the line you've quoted - it's not that bad actually. "You shall find the winter's rage freeze thy blood less coldly" can mean that if they continue to follow their path to Wellington, or follow someone, they will manage to survive their hardships and get to "the poor man".
Yeah, this was already discussed.
