About this quote
From Canto IV, Stanza 178 of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1818), the stanza that became an independent anthology piece under the title "There is a Pleasure in the Pathless Woods." Byron wrote Canto IV in Italy in 1817, during his self-imposed exile from England after the collapse of his marriage and social scandal. The stanza's famous line "I love not Man the less, but Nature more" is drawn from the same stanza — both lines together form Byron's Romantic manifesto for solitude as a form of communion with the universe.
