Consider the speaker, then, not only as one who is particularly sensitive to beauty but as Byron, the licentious literary legend. Why would a man so consumed by his own insatiable sexual appetites pause to ponder such a woman? The answer lies in the attraction of the impure for the pure. Now
Literary Criticism On She Walks In Beauty
Born in England in 1788, Byron became one of the most famous Romantic poets. Romanticism in art and poetry chose to highlight the beauty of nature, more extreme expressions of emotion, and the belief in the supernatural, as opposed to the rational thought of the preceding Enlightenment period. Prior to writing 'She Walks in Beauty', Byron published his first collection of poetry Hours of Idleness. While this collection did not gain him major recognization, his satirical response to the reviews of Hours of Idleness placed him in the literary spotlight for his witty and biting sense of humor.
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 eyesThus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair'd the nameless graceWhich 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![1]

Let me give an example from the first volume, the delightful and engaging ''Dark Lady From Belorusse,'' which focuses on the relationship of Baby Charyn with his mother, Faigele. Throughout that book, and the second memoir too, she is described as a woman of near-otherworldly beauty: all eyes turn as she walks down the street, all manner of men throw themselves upon her, and the ripple of adoration she stirs in the linked world of politics and crime reaches all the way to F.D.R. and, more impressively, to Meyer Lansky himself. As it happens, the author chose to include several photographs of the Dark Lady in the text, and what we see is not ''Joan Crawford's twin'' but -- forgive me, Mr. Charyn -- a pleasant, wide-cheeked, high-browed woman, much like many another. Nonetheless, such is the intensity of the adult Jerome's conviction, so great the powers of his prose and his belief in his own fantasy, that I remain convinced that next to Fanny Charyn, Helen of Troy must look like Orrin Hatch. Those photographs, along with all facts attendant to them, are washed out by the 500-watt bulb of the projectionist's imagination: what we truly believe are the larger-than-life figures, Faigele among them, cast upon the mental screen before us. 2ff7e9595c
