Excerpt from Pilgrimage Poems The pilgrim fares and comes by devious ways Past ancient land-marks, 'neath the austere gaze Of mountains, and through forest-depths unscanned. By water sometimes, and again by land, His long quest leads him: often too he strays, Loathing his path, and so for many days Wanders 'mid stones and over wastes of sand.
