Childe Harold's Pilgrimage Canto Fourth: And the Prisoner of Chillon

Excerpt from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage Canto Fourth: And the Prisoner of Chillon

These poems, and indeed all poems, should be taught as literature, and the primary aim should be literary ap preciation. The teacher is often confronted with the problem of getting pupils to see the essential difference between poetry and prose. This can best be done by good interpretative reading and by calling attention to the fact that poetry makes more of an emotional than an intellectual appeal, that it is largely imaginative and suggestive, and that it deals more with great truths than with facts.
