I

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;
Thus mellowed to the tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

II

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress
Or softly lightens o'er her face –
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

III

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. (G. Byron)

Ulike the heroes of each ancient race,

Demons in akt, but Gods at least in

face,

In Conrad's form seems little to

admire,

Though his dark eyebrow shades a

glance of fire:

Robust but not Herculean — to the

sight

No giant frame sets forth his

common height;

Yet, in the whole, who paused to

look again,

Saw more than marks the crowd of

vulgar men;

They gaxe and marvel how — and

still confess

That thus it is, but why they cannot

guess.

Sun-burnt his cheek, his forehead

high and pale

The sable curls in wild profusion veil;

And oft, perforce, his rising lip

reveals

The haughtier thought it curbs, but

scarce conceals.

Though smooth his voice, and calm

his general mien,

Still seems there something he

would not have seen:

His features' deepening lines and

variyng hue

At times attracted, yet perplexed

the view,

As if within that murkiness of mind

Worked feelings fearful, and yet

undefined <...>

There was a laughing Devil in his

sneer,

That raised emotions both of rage

and fear <...>

The companion of the church dignitary was a man past forty, thin, strong, tall, and muscular; an athletic figure, which long fatige and constant exercise seemed to have left none of the softer part of the human form, having re­duced the whole to brawn, bones, and sinews, which had sustained a thousand toils, and were ready to dare a thousand more. His head was covered with a scarlet cap, faced with fur, of that kind which the French call mortier, from its resemblance to the shape of an inverted mortar. His countenance was there­fore fully displayed, and its expression was calculated to impress a degree of awe, if not of fear, upon strangers. High features, naturally strong and power­fully expressive, had been burnt almost into Negro blackness by constant ex­posure to the tropical sun, and might, in their ordinary state, be said to slumber after the storm of passion had passed away; but the projection of the veins of the forehead, the readiness with which the upper lip and its thick black moustaches quivered upon the slightest emotion, plainly intimated that the tempest might be again and easily awakened. His keen, piercing, dark eyes told in every glance a history of difficulties subdued and dangers dared, and seemed to challenge opposition to his wishes, for the pleasure of sweeping it from his road by a determined exertion of courage and of will; a deep scar on his brow gave additional sternness to his countenance and a sinister expression to one of his eyes, which had been slinghtly injured on the same occasion, and of which the vision, though perfect, was in a slinght and partial degree distorted. The upper dress of this personage resembled that of his companion in shape, being a long monastic mantle; but the colour, being scarlet, showed that he did not belong to any of the four regular ordens of monks. On the right shoulder of the mantle there was cut, in white cloth, a cross of a peculiar form. This upper robe concealed what at first view seemed rather inconsistent with its form, a shirt, namely, of linked mail, with sleeves and gloves of the same, curiously plaited and interwoven, as flexible to the body as those which are now wrought in the stocking-loom out of less obdurate materials. The forepart of his thighs, where the folds of his mantle permitted them to be seen, were also covered with linked mail; the knees and feet were defended by splints, or thin plates of steel, ingeniously jointed upon each other; and mail hose, reaching from the ankle to the knee, effectually protested the legs, and com­pleted the rider's defensive armour. In his girdle he wore a long and double-edged dagger, which was the only offensive weapon about his person. He rode, not a mule, like his companion, but a strong hackney for the road, to save his gallant war-horse, which a squire led behind, fully accoutred for battle, with a chamfron or plaited head-piece upon his head, having a short spike project­ing from the front.
