She walks in beauty, like a cloudless night,
The sky is full of stars;
All the beautiful encounters of darkness and light.
In her appearance and eyes:
In this way, it becomes soft in the soft light.
Heaven rejects a gorgeous day.
One more shadow, one less light,
Half the damage to the nameless elegance.
Rippling on every black tree,
Or gently illuminate her face;
How pure the quiet and sweet thoughts express,
How lovely their residence is.
On the cheek, on the forehead,
So gentle, so calm, but eloquent,
Victory smile, shining color,
But to tell you the good times,
A heart at peace with everyone,
A love is a pure heart!
She walked in the beautiful light.
George Gordon Byron
She walked in the beautiful light, like the night.
Bright, cloudless and starry;
The most beautiful color of light and shade.
In her appearance and eyes:
The dazzling day is too bright,
It is softer and darker than that light.
Increase or decrease part of the light and shade.
Will damage this unspeakable beauty.
Beauty undulates in her black hair,
Or send out a faint light
On that face, calm thoughts
Point out that it is pure and precious.
Ah, that forehead, that bright cheek,
So gentle, calm, affectionate,
Charming smile, luster on the face,
Are interpreting a kind life:
She is satisfied with everything in the world,
Her heart is full of pure love!
George gordon byron (1788- 1824) is a Scottish aristocrat. 1788 65438+1Born in London on October 23rd. He was born lame and sensitive to it. At the age of ten, the hereditary title and property of the Byron family (Newstad Abbey is its residence) fell into his hands and became Byron VI. 1805- 1808 studying literature and history at Cambridge university. As an irregular student, he seldom attends lectures, but he widely reads European and British literature, philosophy and historical works, and also engages in shooting, gambling, drinking, hunting, swimming and other activities. 1March, 809, entered the House of Lords as a hereditary aristocrat. He attended the House of Lords and delivered some speeches, but these speeches clearly expressed Byron's progressive position of liberalism.
From1809-1811,Byron traveled abroad to the East in order to "meet people, not just read about them in books", and also to sweep away "the harmful consequences of an islander staying at home with narrow prejudice". During the trip, he began to write Childe. Haller's travels and other poems, and brewing future oriental story poems in his heart. "Childe. The first and second chapters of Haller's Travels came out in February 18 12, which caused a sensation in the literary world and made Byron a star in London society. However, this did not make him compromise with the British aristocratic bourgeoisie. He has been aware of the stubbornness, hypocrisy, evil and prejudice of this society and its ruling class since he was a child, and his poems have always been a protest against all this.
1811-1816, Byron has been living in a constant emotional vortex. In his popular social life, there is a lot of love to take part in accidental amusement, and the affair of a young aristocratic poet is naturally more talked about. Byron proposed to an Anna milbank on 18 13 and married her on 18 15 1. This is the biggest mistake Byron made in his life. Mrs. Byron is a narrow-minded person, deeply influenced by the hypocrisy of her class, and can't understand Byron's career and views at all. One year after his marriage, he returned home with his daughter, who had just been born for more than a month, and refused to live with Byron, thus causing rumors. The British ruling class took this opportunity to take the craziest revenge on its traitor Byron in an attempt to destroy this poet who dared to be his enemy. The painful feelings of this period also made him write poems like Prometheus, expressing his determination to resist the oppressors to the end.
Byron left England forever in April 19 16. A biographer said that he was "driven out of the country, and his money belt and heart were ruined." He left and never came back; But after he left, he found new inspiration by the rapids of the Ruoen River and wrote novels, poems and literary works that made his name immortal under the Italian sky. "
18 16, Byron lived in Switzerland and met another exiled poet Shelley in Geneva. Their hatred of British rule and their love of poetry made them close friends.
While living abroad, Byron wrote Childe Haller's Travels (18 16-1817) and the story poem Prisoner of Xiyong (1816). Don Juan, the representative work, is Byron's most important group of poems, which is half poetic, half harmonious, half narrative and half argument, with realistic content, strange, relaxed and ironic brushwork. After the first and second chapters were published anonymously, they immediately caused great repercussions. British newspapers defending bourgeois decency rose up and attacked it, accusing it of attacking religion and morality, which was "a mockery of decency, good feelings and the code of conduct necessary for maintaining society" and "disgusting to every normal mind", and so on.
But it is also highly respected. Writer Walter Scott said that Don Juan was "as comprehensive as Shakespeare, he covered every topic of life, plucked every string on the sacred piano and played the smallest, strongest and most shocking tune." The poet Goethe said, "Don Juan is a complete genius of novels, poems and literary works-cynical to the point of despair and bitter, gentle to the point of delicate and touching feelings ...". After the sixteenth chapter of Don Juan was written, Byron was ready to devote himself to the national liberation movement in Greece.
This is the poet's last and most brilliant career. He hated both holy alliance's oppression of European nations and Turkish rule of Greece. 1824, Byron was busy preparing for the war. Unfortunately, he got caught in the rain and caught cold. He couldn't afford to get sick. He passed away on April 9th. His death made the Greek people extremely sad, and the whole country mourned for 2 1 day.
