The crucial fact about Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage is that it is a poem. Watering the heart whose earthly flowers have died, Death hush'd that pang for ever : with thee fled the father of the dead! Of dying thunder on the distant wind; Flowers whose wild odours breathe but agonies, Are sought in vain, and o'er each mouldering tower; Time, which hath wrong'd thee with ten thousand rents Have I not suffered things to be forgiven?
