The Appreciation of She Walks in Beauty
"She Walks in Beauty" has become one of the most well-known and 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 in1814 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.
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. 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.
Lord Byron greatly admired his cousin's serene qualities on that particular night and
he has left us with an inspired poem. Before you go any further, we should warn you:
"She Walks in Beauty" is not a love poem. Sure, it's a celebration of a woman's beauty,
but the speaker never says he's in love with her. He just thinks she's really, really
gorgeous. The poem is about an unnamed woman. She's really quite striking, and the
speaker compares her to lots of beautiful, but dark, things, like "night" and "starry
skies." The second stanza continues to use the contrast between light and dark, day
and night, to describe her beauty. We also learn that her face is really "pure" and
"sweet." The third stanza wraps it all up – she's not just beautiful, she's "good" and
"innocent," to boot. The theme of the poem is the woman's exceptional beauty,
internal as well as external. The first stanza praises her physical beauty. The second
and third stanzas praise both her physical and spiritual, or intellectual, beauty.

she walks in beauty 象征手法？答："She Walks in Beauty" 是一首浪漫主义诗歌，由英国诗人拜伦（Lord Byron）创作。

这首诗使用了一些象征手法来传达作者对女性的赞美和美丽之情。

1. 色彩象征：诗中使用了黑暗和光明的比喻，描绘了女性迷人的外貌。

例如，"She walks in beauty, like the night / Of cloudless climes and starry skies"，将她与夜晚的无云星空相比较，表达出她的美丽和神秘感。

2. 自然象征：拜伦利用自然元素来描述女性的美丽。

他将她的美丽比作 "tender light"，"a cloudless moon"，"the raven tress" 等等，通过与自然景观的比喻，突出女性的纯洁和优雅。

3. 对比象征：诗中运用了对比来强调女性的美丽。

例如，"She walks in beauty, like the night / And all that's best of dark and bright"，将黑暗与光明进行对比，突出了女性同时具有温柔和光芒的特质。

4. 和谐象征：作者通过使用平衡和和谐的词语和句子结构，以表达女性的美丽。

例如，"One shade the more, one ray the less / Had half impaired the nameless grace"，这种对称和平衡的结构传递了女性外貌的完美和调和之美。

通过以上象征手法，拜伦将女性的美丽与自然景观和人类情感相联系，创造出一种浪漫而深情的描绘。

这些象征手法帮助读者更加深入地感受到诗歌中所表达的美丽和赞美之情。

“She
Walks in Beauty”
----by Lord Byron
创作背景
• 1814年6月11日拜伦首度在好友James W. Webster的引荐下，到Lady Sitwell的家中， 在舞会上与其表妹霍顿夫人（Lady Wilmot Horton）相遇，当时这位寡寡的美丽夫人仍 在服丧，穿着“一件金箔闪烁的黑色晨服” （a mourning dress of spangled black），她 美丽的容貌，优雅的仪态，令诗人怦然心 动，第二天便写就了这首脍炙人口的She Walks in Beauty，留下了他惊艳时的心情。
• 这是一首美的赞歌，但它本身的美并非因 为它所歌颂的美而美，而是在于它以独特 的表现手法，从不ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ的角度对夫人的美进 行描述，使得霍顿夫人的美是流动的、生 动的，而不是矫揉造作、刻意雕琢的美。 不独如此，在诗人的笔下夫人还是真善美 的化身。透过她恬淡安详的面容、冷静睿 智的明眸、时而微蹙的眉头、甜美的笑容， 人们可以看到她纯洁善良的灵魂。
THANKS!
简要赏析
• 整体来看，贯穿全诗的是充溢着美的光。 • 诗的第一节，用迷离的光影和温软的色泽营造出一 个光影交融的世界；第二节，以每一道影，每一缕光来 雕琢这位女子的美丽，由表及里，发丝间，容颜上，直 至心灵里，无不充满圣洁的光辉；最后一节，光华重 现——如花笑嫣和醉人脸颊映衬出光润的额际，外表气 质和内在优雅融为一体，这才是自然而纯粹的美。读者 在这种柔和干净的节奏感中体会着交融在光影中和谐的 美，外在之美和心灵之美巧妙蕴涵在清夜晴辉中，照出 一片祥和与安宁。光，无疑是这首诗的关键，这不仅表 现在较好容颜、明亮明眸中，而且从心灵散发出来，这 是内在之美，灵魂之光，每一道影、每一缕光，在明暗 对比下，调和成最美妙的色泽，将四周环境抽象为一个 美的存在。

译诗二 她走在美的光影里 杨德豫 译 她走在美的光影里，好像 无云的夜空，繁星闪烁； 明与暗的最美的形相 交会于她的容颜和眼波， 融成一片恬淡的清光—— 浓艳的白天得不到的恩泽。 多一道阴影，少一缕光芒， 都会损害那难言的优美： 美在她绺绺黑发上飘荡， 在她的腮颊上洒布柔辉； 愉悦的思想在那儿颂扬， 这神圣寓所的纯洁、高贵。 那脸颊，那眉宇，幽娴、沉静， 情意却胜似万语千言； 迷人的笑容，灼人的红晕， 显示温情伴送着芳年； 和平的、涵容一切的灵魂！ 蕴蓄着真纯爱情的心田！

她走在美的光彩中 查良铮 译 她走在美的光彩中，象夜晚 皎洁无云,繁星漫天； 明与暗,最美妙的色泽 呈现在她的仪容和秋波： 耀目的白天只嫌光太强， 它比那光亮柔和而幽暗。 增加或减少一份明与暗 就会损害这难言的美。 美波动在她乌黑的发上， 或者散布淡淡的光辉 在那脸庞，恬静的思绪 指明它的来处纯洁而珍贵。 呵，那额际，那鲜艳的面颊， 如此温和，平静，而又脉脉含情， 那迷人的微笑，那容颜的光彩， 都在说明一个善良的生命： 她的头脑安于世间的一切， 她的心充溢着真纯的爱情！
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 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!
