Lord Byron is an observant person in parts of seeing in exteriors and interior impressions of that lady which is not only about the facial but also the mind and the heart depicting that she is so idyllic.

🌟SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY (LORD BYRON) 🌟


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. ⭐⭐⭐

The Cavalier Poets by Khalil Norsham (194807)

The Cavalier Poets During the Post-Renaissance period, there were three separate eras, which were the Caroline Era, the Restoration Period and also the Augustan Age. I found the Caroline Era really interesting, especially when it comes to a group of poets who called themselves the Cavalier Poets. So how did they got their name? What about the characteristics of these poets? And who are the Cavalier Poets? The Cavalier Poets are actually a group of poets who supported King Charles I who was an expert and really love fine arts. They are members of aristrocracy and often linked to Royalist as their main purpose in their poetry was to glorify the king. The Cavalier Poets were totally different from the traditional poet who loves to talk about philosophy and religion. They love to express more on celebratory things or expressing their joy. To them, enjoying life was far more important rather than following moral codes. Most of their poems hold an attitude of "carpe diem" which ...

Sonnet 18 by Nor Syahira Asyiqin (193449)

SHAKESPEARE’S SONNET Sonnet 18: Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day? Last semester, my friend and I analayzed Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day? by William Shakespeare for our class, A Survey of Prose Forms and Poetry in English. I was intimidated at first when our lecturer chose us to do this sonnet, and it was the only sonnet out of the list of poems for that course. William Shakespeare was one of the most eminent writers in the history of classic literature, so undoubtedly I would be apprehensive because the last thing that I want to do is giving my classmates the wrong information regarding this sonnet. Thus, I embarked on my journey through the world of Internet. I read this sonnet for the first time and I didn’t understand what Shakespeare was trying to say at all. I never liked poems anyway, so to me it was incomprehensible. I was basically clueless to put it lightly. I mean I knew it has some romantic elements to it (it’s Shakespeare we’re talking abou...
