Well a modern day pilgrimage doesn't go away because tourists travel all over the world to see the religious shrines; no matter what religion they are in. However,pilgrimages are unreal in today's secular society because tourists are not taking them seriously; they are enjoying the tours the pilgrimages first hand yet they are not experiencing it more traditionally. Back in the day, religious pilgrimages were enclosed to the public because they are very sacred and holy. In modern times, people visit the pilgrimages not to be spiritually awake but to be watchers; just looking with awe hope this helps :)
"Who knows but this surrendered face were undefeated still." If something surrenders, it implies it has been defeated. "Heavenly hurt" does seem to be ironic too though. Hope this helped.
It's life because when you are with someone you love and cherish you want to be around them all the time. And when you are together all you can wish to see is their smile and that makes your LIFE better.
