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.
The opening lines of the poem ‘She Walks in Beauty’ by Lord (George Gordon Noel) Byron (1814)

Beautiful and how very apt. Happy Valentine’s to you, Alex 🙂
I second that.
And I third it back to you both 🙂
Imagine something like that written for you!
I know! He did have someone in mind when he wrote it too.
Hmm, I have the feeling it wasn’t me 😦 ;).
Maybe it describes you better than the woman he wrote it for 🙂
Ah yes, I could make myelf believe that! 😀 😉
Wonderful poem for a wonderful day 🙂

Well yes I can see why you like this – I’m more a ‘what rough beast, its hour come round at last etc.. girl.
