=[|WATCH THIS]= =Romanticism:= > By [| Lord Byron (George Gordon)] > 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 mellowed to that tender light > Which heaven to gaudy day denies. > > 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. > > 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! = Analysis: = In She walks in Beauty by Lord Byron juxtaposition between dark and light she is a mixture of all dark and light and brings peace in the world She walks in Beauty by Lord Byron is about a beautiful woman whom the author believes brings peace in to his life. Her beauty is the same inside and out and has the ability to take all that is dark and make it beautiful. similar to a stary night sky. ie. while it is dark and scary and night the stars shine throught and make a terrible thing beautiful. The use of juxtoposition is clear throught the poem as the first stanza uses the phrases " all that's best of dark and bright" and "a mind at peace with all below" indicating that she is not afraid or stressed by what is bad in the world. she simply accepts it with a grace an eloquence unbenouced to most people.
