To be honest with you, I couldn’t make head nor tail of the underlined part. In other words, I couldn't analyze it. Surfing the Net looking for "can't see past" and replied, "can't see past the end of nose." In a word, does the word past in the underlined part function as a preposition? Will you help me make it clear, please?
Thank you,
