๐ŸŒŸSHE WALKS IN BEAUTY (LORD BYRON) ๐ŸŒŸ


She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

The steps of the woman walking and her graceful movement are the parts of what makes her beautiful. She was being compared with the contrasted elements of brightness and darkness which showing that she has a striking and glowing appearance like a star, as clear as the cloudless sky. Her eyes are shining and sparkling, this contrast creates picturesque of this woman. The tender light of her face is beautiful as the moonlight and the stars shine at night time which is not like blended lights as the daytime.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

                The shades of the lights are well-balanced, that how she is looks like, distorting the balanced expression will partially defiling her beauty. She has a black glossy hair and a bright face awestrucking him. Her allures undefined as nice as a view of pleasantness. Other than that, her mind is so pure assumingly ‘serenely sweet express’ is referring to her thoughts as insightful.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

            Byron wrote that she smiles in blush, pleasant smile which is so bold and attractive. She is elegant and a noble type that moderately talking and laughing. The writer reflecting that this lady had did many good deeds representing she is a kindhearted person. By that means, her love is pure and sincere. Hence, I think that she spread her love in good manners and conscience.

The good aspects of the moral values are the prevailing points to be taken as examples. Keeps on appreciating the beauty of nature, beauty that shines brighter from the heart as the true essence… captivating the eyes and the soul. ⭐⭐⭐
