She Walks in Beauty

She walks in beauty like the night
of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright

    The poem itelf is about ''Her' that is the most beautiful creature in this world, also described in a very beautiful way.
    Definetly he is in Love, just someone who feels something really strong can writte in this way as Byron did.

    This is a Madonna, an icon of immacualte feminity who reflects the poet's (and by extensions the male’s) desire for an untroubled and untroubling lover who will not spoil the game of by having awkward thoughts or feelings. And she must not deviate one iota from her perfection; though the pressure of remaining so perfectly beautiful when 'One shade the more, one ray the less…” would halve her appeal would send anyone but the kind of milksop Byron is here eulogising mad!

    Definition of beauty in poetry Byron has expressed pretty well! Indeed nothing more and nothing less beauty is adequate expression!

    I recite this poem to myself very often. And when I stand under the shimmering moon, reciting, the beauty of the lines seem to 'softly lighten' over me. I wonder why this poem is ranked 125th. Is it that romance is dead today?

    We read this poem in English last year in Grade 11. I really liked it then, and seeing it now, brought back the memory
