The Appreciation of She Walks in Beauty
Byron
is
one
of
the
most
excellent
representatives
of
English Romanticism and one of the most influential poets of
the
time.
His
literary
career
was
closely
linked
with
the
struggle
and
progressive
movements
of
his
age.
He
opposed
oppression
and
slavery,
and
has
an
ardent
(passionate)
love
for
liberty. He praised the people’s revolutionary struggles in
his
works. His
poems
are
favorites
of
the
British
workers
and
the laboring people of other countries. Byron’s poems
show
energy and vigor, romantic daring (bold, brave) and powerful
passion.
He
stands
with
Shakespeare
and
Scott
among
the
British
writers who exert the greatest influence over the mainland
Europe and the Chinese youth greatly. But some critics think
many of his lines are harsh (unkind), rugged (rough) and not
rhythmical.
Some
poems
show
his
individual
heroism
and
pessimism.


Walks
in
Beauty
”

is
frequently
considered
one
of
his
most powerful is an eighteen-line poem, much shorter than
Byron's
famous
narrative
poems,
like
Childe
Harold's
Pilgrimage
or
Don
Juan.
But
despite
its
relative
brevity,

Walks in Beauty
easily recognized poems written by Byron. It is a lyric poem
centering on the extraordinary beauty of a young lady. Lord
Byron
wrote
the
poem
in
1814 and published it
in
a collection,
Hebrew
Melodies,
in
1815.
As
the
name
of
the
volume
suggests,
the poems in that volume were written to be set to music.

On
the
evening
of
June
11,
1814,
Byron
attended
a
party
with
his
friend,
James
Wedderburn
Webster,
at
the
London
home
of
Lady
Sarah
Caroline
Sitwell.
Among
the
other
guests
was
the
wife
of
Byron
’
s cousin, the beautiful Mrs. Anne Beatrix Wilmot, who
was
newly
widowed
and
wore
a
black
mourning
gown
brighten
with
spangles. Her exquisite good looks dazzled Byron and inspired
him to write
“
She Walks in Beauty.
”


As the title says, She walks in beauty, the main theme of
the poem
is the description of
a lady, the enumeration of
certain qualities that the author considers give her beauty.
The
introduction
of
the
verb
to
“
walk
”

in
the
title
is
important
because
it
gives
connotations
of
advancing,
not
only
in space but also in time. It makes reference to the movement
of
walking,
introducing
the
reader
this
way
into
a
reading
which
is going to be constant through out the entire poem. The poem
uses images of light and darkness interacting to describe the
wide spectrum of elements in a beautiful woman's personality
and looks.

Unlike common love poetry, which makes the claim that its
subject
is
filled
with
beauty,
this
poem
describes
its
subject
as
being
possessed
by
beauty.
This
woman
does
have
beauty
within
her, but it is to such a great degree that she is actually
surrounded by it, like an aura. To some extent, her positive
attributes
create
her beauty,
and
so the poem
makes
a
point
of
mentioning
her
goodness,
her
serenity,
and
her
innocence,
which
all have a direct causal effect on her looks.

The
three
six-line
stanzas
of
this
poem
all
follow
the
same
rhyme
scheme
and
the
same
metrical
pattern.
There
are
only
six
rhyming sounds in this eighteen-line poem because the poem
rhymes ababab, cdcdcd, efefef . Oftentimes poets use their
poetic
structures
to
mirror
what
the
poem's
chief
concerns
are.
Poetic form
—
stanzas and meter
—
and content
—
what the poem's
subject is
—
are almost always related. The meter is also very
regular
—
iambic tetrameter.

The
pairing
of
two
rhyming
sounds
in
each
stanza
works
well
because
the
poem
concerns
itself
with
the
two
forces
—
darkness
and
light
—
at
work
in
the
woman's
beauty,
and
also
the
two
areas
of
her
beauty
—
the
internal
and
the
external.
The
rhyming
words
themselves, especially in the first stanza, have importance:
