Answer:

In the poem "She Walks in Beauty," Byron describes the beauty of an unnamed woman. He describes this beauty in terms of the contrast and balance of light and dark. In this way, he shows that the woman’s beauty is not unearthly, but it is still unusual.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impaired the nameless grace

In the last stanza of the poem, Byron connects this outward beauty to a strong inner beauty:

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

This kind of beauty does exist in daily life. Good actions and a life well lived can also give a person natural grace, which is a realistic kind of beauty.
