Ok How romantic can this be? I am reading this book, where the famous Lord Bryon is briefly mentioned. He was in athens, and when he heard a famous Lady Hayster- niece of the youngest prime minister of England had arrived in town he jumped in the water to go greet her. He recited her this poem. Now---tell me why i shouldnt love this guy? Reading the poem--- made feel sooooo much, made me soooooo amazing alert, alive and just grateful that such a humanbeing as Lord Byron---existed! Am i crazy??? :clap: :clap: :clap:


This is the BEST Part i love in the poem.......


"
And all that 's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes'






George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron. 1788–1824

600. 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
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light 5
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face; 10
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, 15
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
