CLXXVIII.
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
This is almost a reference to the Bible. As the title is  Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage , the narrator is speaking about the peacefulness of being alone. In the line before Byron speaks about how a woods that is pathless and unexplored. Most people may find a quote like this confusing as a pathless woods seems scary and exploration alone is fearful. Byron uses this line to show that coming upon an explored or pathless area is like a rapture. The narrator is being saved from society and humanity in order to be at bliss in solitude.​
