George Gordon, Lord Byron's poem “She Walks in Beauty” illustrates a nameless woman regarding her beauty and perfection, in which he uses the contrast of beautiful but dark to describe the beauty of the woman. This poem explains why the woman is so flawless and perfect in the narrator's words, and why she is the focus of the poem, in which she is described as the starry night sky. “Walk in beauty, like the night / Of cloudless climes and starry skies” the poet uses imagery so the reader can visualize beauty like the night sky surrounding the woman. Comparing this to the night sky full of light, like stars, he uses equality as an ideal and balanced image in which she can be compared to woman. Later in the stanza, the woman claimed by the narrator also contains opposite characteristics far from her perfection. “And all that is better than darkness and light/Meets in her countenance and in her eyes” Describing contrast again, the narrator is referring to the balance of beauty in the face, hair, and skin tone. It also reveals the opposite aspects to the internal view of the woman, although, since the woman is only seen walking from the beginning of the poem, Byron continues to talk about her facial qualities, namely her face and her hair which attract him. most. Byron says "all that is best in darkness and light, is met in his countenance and in his eyes", this reveals that the only aspect that relates to the metaphor of darkness and light are his beautiful features, compared to night and day that illustrate the meaning of beauty towards the unknown woman. The poet mainly uses similes and metaphors from the previous stanza to better describe how these characteristics are perfect, equally balanced and beautiful, which... half of the paper... possibly have, in what forms a balance between the internal and external vision of the person . The use of light and dark metaphors helped provide details on the description of this perfect balance, for example "She walks in beauty, like the night" and "So softened by that tender light", are examples of her comparison in her belief in balance. Each line is composed of iambic pentameter and at the end of each stanza reveals the explanation of the woman's beauty, making this poem understandable using the poet's illustrations. And using these stanzas to describe the woman's opinions, the Poet states that the darkness, or the "starry night", represents the internal beauty, while the light describes the external beauty of the woman, or the facial features, such as the eyes , the smile or the hair. Byron concludes that when both light and darkness meet in the same quantity, perfection has been achieved.
