Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (Dugdale edition)[edit]

Original - Frontispiece to W. Dugdale's c. 1825 edition of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage:

Lo! where the Giant on the mountain stands,
His blood-red tresses deep'ning in the sun,
With death-shot glowing in his fiery hands,
And eye that scorcheth all it glares upon;
Restless it rolls, now fixed, and now anon
Flashing a far,—and at his iron feet
Destruction cowers to mark what deeds are done.
For on this morn three potent nations meet,
To shed before his shrine the blood he deems most sweet.
Reason
Byron. Really, what more needs said?

  • Support: Childe Harold's Pilgrimage must be one of Byron's best known works. This makes a very nice and appropriate illustration for the article. Maedin\talk 06:35, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
