The first one. This isn’t describing the woman directly. It’s basically saying heaven would be happy to have her

Answer:

• "Which heaven to gaudy day denies"

Step-by-step explanation:

"She Walks In Beauty" is the poem written by Lord Byron. The poem is supposed to have its inspiration from the real-life event of his life when he met his first cousin's wife, Lady Wilmot.

The unusual description of the woman given by Byron in the poem is in the last line of the first stanza. The beauty of a woman is described as the harmonious unity of darkness and light, which is an unusual description given to a woman.

So, the correct answer is first option.
