The poem suddenly becomes much darker in the last stanza and a Billy Collins explains how teachers, students or general readers of poetry ‘torture’ a poem by being what he believes is cruelly analytical. He says, “all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it”. Here, the poem is being personified yet again and this brings about an almost human connection between the reader and the poem. This use of personification is effective as it makes the

Born in 1788, George Gordon Byron, commonly known as Lord Byron, was an English poet and one of the most famous poets of the romantic era. Romanticism was one of the most influential poetic movements in which brought Lord Byron into the literary forefront. Although he has many famous literary works, She Walks in Beauty is one of his most favourable poems. The poem was inspired by a woman wearing a mourningful dress whilst at a ball. Love is the overarching theme, focusing mainly on captivating love. This is seen by the overwhelming sense of his attention that is captivated by her and the fact that the woman seems unobtainable. Through his work, Lord Byron captured the reader's attention through the way he used literary devices and the way he represented different gender representations through the nature of love.

The second generation was the group of poets better known for their rebellious and opinionated poems. This generation shifted from voicing their opinions of the civil rights, and the French Revolution to their feelings about the Industrial Revolution and the egotistic and prideful mindset of aristocrats, of whom most of the poets belonged. The author, often, would use the poems they wrote to portray themselves or a visionary part of themselves, either way the second generation wrote in a more arrogant and selfish tone. One of the greatest poets that portrayed these mannerisms was George Gordon, or better known as Lord Byron. The common theme of Byron’s poems was that of the typical romantic heroic actions, and filled with an adulterous attitude (”English Literature: The Romantic Period”).

The last stanza in this poem considers the woman's physical description and moral character. Her “so soft [and] so calm” flow radiates peace and goodness.

The poem talks about a man- an anonymous “he”- a perfectionist whose poetry was understandable and who, himself, understood “human folly” and the human psyche like “the back of his hand”. He was

Lovelace was born in 1618, his birth place is unknown, but suspected to be either Woolwich, Kent or Holland. He was born into a wealthy family that owned a considerable amount of Kent. His father, Sir William Lovelace, was a wealthy Kentish Knight. He was a soldier and died during the Spain and Holland war in the Siege of Groenlo a few days before the town fell. When his father died, Lovelace was only 9 years old. His mother Anne Barne Lovelace was a prominent merchant and public official from London. He had seven siblings-four brothers and three sisters- and he was the eldest. He attended a Charterhouse school in London at age 11, and later he would then go to Oxford University at age 18 to obtain a master 's degree. During Lovelace’s youth, he was already considered to be an admirable and modest person. Growing up, he became a poet scholar, and since the Kent family prospered from their history of professional soldiers, he was to become a soldier as well. Being a Cavalier poet, Lovelace paved the path for their writings. Cavaliers were a group of English poets who were supporters of Charles I during the English Civil Wars. They way he stands out is with his complexity of view and ability to influence others with his poems (he had 173 works). His poetry was often influenced by his experiences with politics and associated with important figures of his time. He went through wars, periods in jail, and poverty during his later years. Although Lovelace lived short life to

This poem is unique and more patently autobiographic unlike other romantic poems that were written during his era in the early 18th century by other fellow writers. Byron’s poem is entirely focused on the beauty and the fascination that he endures with the ocean. The title of the poem indicates the subject of the poem; it also has the first literary device that is seen throughout this poem. The word apostrophe is when the writer speaks to the ocean as if it can hear and respond. As a child Byron becomes aware of realities imperfections but the skepticism of his disillusionment coexisted with a lifelong propensity to seek ideal perfection in all of life experiences (Marchand). In the first stanza Byron expresses and underlines the feelings, fascination and his overwhelming love that he endures with the ocean.

Lord Byron was considered one of the most important English poets of the nineteenth century, his work was considered unorthodox because he would write about his religious beliefs and his political views. I chose to write about Lord Byron because he was a very well know poet and we read about him during class. In this paper I will try to explain everything I can about George Gordon Byron. Here I will talk about The life and death of The Lord, criticism towards him and his work and how he influenced many artists and writers.

Never in my entire life have I heard of this poem. It came to my attention the first time in class. After researching on the Internet about the author, who is known as Lord Byron, an English poet from the romantic period. The poem is a description of a beautiful woman, whom Byron acquainted, at a ball while meeting his cousin by marriage. Her unusual beauty struck Byron and the poem was written the morning after. It is said that “She walks in beauty” is one of Byron’s most famous piece.
