She Walks In Beauty Like The Night


She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best if 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!

A coincidence is when you really like a poem and then one of your favourite characters off one of your favourite tv shows recites it.
Yes, Neil Caffrey (Matt Bomer) recites Lord Byron on this week's episode. Even though he does not say it all I was super happy while watching I know it all by heart haha

Oh, and I loved it when they mixed Harry Potter and Dickens in the storyline. Pretty funny episode.
