Question

I made a pilgrimage to find Cod:
I listened for His voice at holy tombs
Searched for the print of His immortal feet
In dust of broken altars, yet turned back
with an empty heart. But on the l swaying rose,
Received His blessing from a wayside well;
Saw His bright hand send signal from the
sun
1: why did the poet take a religious journey​

Answer 1

Probably because people believe that a pilgrim meets God.
