cloudlessclimes皎洁无云3．Andallthat'sbestofdarkandbrightmeetinheraspectandeyes．

明与暗的最美妙的色泽都集中在她的仪态和眼神上了。

她走在美的光彩中拜伦（英国）Shewalksinbeauty，likethenight她走在美的光彩中，像夜晚（查良铮

译）她走在美的光影中（无名氏）她走在美的光影里，好像

（杨德豫译）

Ofcloudlessclimesandstarryskies，皎洁无云而且繁星满天；像皎洁无云，星云灿烂的夜色；无云的夜空，繁星闪烁；

Andallthat'sbestofdarkandbright明与暗的最美妙的色泽明与暗最精妙的色泽，明与暗的最美的形相

Meetinheraspectandhereyes，在她的仪容和秋波里呈现：都交汇她那玉容秋波里，交会于她的容颜和眼波，

Thusmellow'dtothattenderlight耀目的白天只嫌光太强，融成一片柔美的光，融成一片恬淡的清光——

Whichheaventogaudydaydenies．它比那光亮柔和而幽暗。这光，即便是华艳的白昼，上苍也拒绝施舍。浓艳的白天得不到的恩泽。Oneshadethemore，oneraytheless，

增加或减少一分明与暗增一末暗影，减一缕光影，多一道阴影，少一缕光茫，

Hadhalfimpair'dthenamelessgrace就会损害这难言的美。都足以令这难言的风韵消损，都会损害那难言的优美：

Whichwavesineveryraventress，美波动在她乌黑的发上，这风韵在她的每一缕发丝间涌动，美在她绺绺黑发上飘荡，

Orsoftlylightenso’erherface，或者散布淡淡的光辉思绪恬静柔和地在脸庞荡漾，在她的腮颊上洒布柔辉；

Wherethoughtsserenelysweetexpress在那脸庞，恬静的思绪啊！它们的寓所多么圣洁，多么典雅。愉悦的思想在那儿颂扬

Howpure，howdeartheirdwelling-place．指明它的来处纯洁而珍贵。(无名氏将后两句合译为一句，所以此处空缺)这神圣寓所的纯洁、高贵。

Andonthatcheekando'erthatbrow呵，那额际，那鲜艳的面颊，眼角眉梢，如此温柔，如此恬静那脸颊，那眉宇，幽娴、沉静，

Sosoft，socalm，yeteloquent，如此温和，平静，而又脉脉含情，却蕴着千言万语，

情意却胜似万语千言；

Thesmilesthatwin，thetintsthatglow那迷人的微笑，那容颜的光彩，那迷人的微笑，那明媚的容颜，迷人的笑容，灼人的红晕，

Buttellofdaysingoodnessspent，都在说明一个善良的生命：却流露出善良中度过的芳年。显示温情伴送着芳年；

Amindatpeacewithallbelow，她的头脑安于世间的一切，平和的思绪容纳了一切，和平的、涵容一切的灵魂！

Aheartwhoseloveisinnocent.她的心充溢着真纯的爱情！心中的爱情晶莹而纯洁。蕴蓄着真纯爱情的心田！

--GeorgeGordonByron(1788-1824)1814年,拜伦在好友詹姆士.W.韦伯斯特的引荐下,首度到西莫路的家中,见到了美丽的威尔莫特夫人.MrsWilmot到底有多美丽,我们不曾亲眼目睹,但是诗人的作品却留下了他惊艳时的心情.MrsWilmot当天穿着闪亮的长裙,如见天人的拜伦那晚心事忡忡,不苟言语,回到家后,要了一杯白兰地酒,举杯祝表妹身体健康之后,就回房休息了.丘比特和缪斯的魂魄一直在他心头萦绕,第二天他就写下了这首永垂不朽的,<<SheWalksInBeauty>>.还是让拜伦来赞扬我们的女神吧.DiscussiononthepoemThefirstcoupleoflinescanbeconfusingifnotreadproperly.Toooftenreadersstopattheendofthefirstlinewherethereisnopunctuation.Thisisanenjambed跨行连续(asopposedtoCAESURA休止)line,meaningthatitcontinueswithoutpauseontothesecondline.Thatshewalksinbeautylikethenightmaynotmakesenseasnightrepresentsdarkness.However,asthelinecontinues,thenightisacloudlessonewithbrightstarstocreateabeautifulmellowglow.Thefirsttwolinesbringtogethertheopposingqualitiesofdarknessandlightthatareatplaythroughoutthethreeverses.Theremaininglinesofthefirstverseemployanothersetofenjambedlinesthattellusthatherfaceandeyescombineallthat’sbestofdarkandbright.Nomentionismadehereorelsewhereinthepoemofanyotherphysicalfeaturesofthelady.Thefocusofthevisionisuponthedetailsofthelady’sfaceandeyeswhichreflectthemellowedandtenderlight.Shehasaremarkablequalityofbeingabletocontaintheoppositesofdarkandbright.Thethirdandfourthlinesarenotonlyenjambed,butthefourthlinebeginswithanirregularityinthemetercalledametricalsubstitution.Thefourthlinestartswithanaccentedsyllablefollowedbyanunaccentedone,ratherthantheiambicmeteroftheotherlines,anunaccentedsyllablefollowedbyanaccentedone.Theresultisthattheword"Meet"receivesattention,anemphasis.Thelady’suniquefeatureisthatopposites"meet"inherinawonderfulway.Thesecondversetellsusthattheglowofthelady’sfaceisnearlyperfect.Theshadesandraysareinjusttherightproportion,andbecausetheyare,theladypossessesanamelessgrace.Thisconveystheromanticideathatherinnerbeautyismirroredbyherouterbeauty.Herthoughtsaresereneandsweet.Sheispureanddear.Thelastverseissplitbetweenthreelinesofphysicaldescriptionandthreelinesthatdescribethelady’smoralcharacter.Heresoft,calmglowreflectsalifeofpeaceandgoodness.Thisisarepetition,anemphasis,ofthethemethatthelady’sphysicalbeautyisareflectionofherinnerbeauty.LordByrongreatlyadmiredhiscousin’sserenequalitiesonthatparticularnightandhehasleftuswithaninspiredpoem.ThepoemwaswrittenshortlybeforeLordByron’smarriagetoAnnaMilbankeandpublishedshortlyafterthemarriage.Shewalksinbeauty,likethenightOfcloudlessclimesandstarryskies;Andallthat'sbestofdarkandbrightMeetinheraspectandhereyes:Thusmellow'dtothattenderlightWhichheaventogaudydaydenies.Oneshadethemore,oneraytheless,Hadhalfimpair'dthenamelessgraceWhichwavesineveryraventress,Orsoftlylightenso'erherface;WherethoughtsserenelysweetexpressHowpure,howdeartheirdwellingplace.Andonthatcheek,ando'erthatbrow,Sosoft,socalm,yeteloquent,Thesmilesthatwin,thetintsthatglow,Buttellofdaysingoodnessspent,Amindatpeacewithallbelow,Aheartwhoseloveisinnocent!LordByron’sopeningcoupletto"SheWalksInBeauty"isamongthemostmemorableandmostquotedlinesinromanticpoetry.Theopeninglinesareeffortless,graceful,andbeautiful,afittingmatchforhispoemaboutawomanwhopossesseseffortlessgraceandbeauty.AboutthePoem,"SheWalksInBeauty"InJune,1814,severalmonthsbeforehemetandmarriedhisfirstwife,AnnaMilbanke,LordByronattendedapartyatLadySitwell?.Whileattheparty,LordByronwasinspiredbythesightofhiscousin,thebeautifulMrs.Wilmot,whowaswearingablackspangledmourningdress.LordByronwasstruckbyhiscousin?darkhairandfairface,theminglingofvariouslightsandshades.Thisbecametheessenceofhispoemabouther.Accordingtohisfriend,JamesW.Webster,"IdidtakehimtoLadySitwell?partyinSeymourRoad.Hethereforthefirsttimesawhiscousin,thebeautifulMrs.Wilmot.WhenwereturnedtohisroomsinAlbany,hesaidlittle,butdesiredFletchertogivehimatumblerofbrandy,whichhedrankatonetoMrs.Wilmot?health,thenretiredtorest,andwas,Iheardafterwards,inasadstateallnight.Thenextdayhewrotethosecharminglinesuponher.ShewalksinBeautyliketheNight.Thepoemwaspublishedin1815.AlsointhatyearLordByronwroteanumberofsongstobesettotraditionalJewishtunesbyIsaacNathan.LordByronincluded"SheWalksinBeauty"withthosepoems.Well,youcouldsay"thiswomanispure,lovely,andkind."...although,paraphrasingkindofdestroysthewholepurposeofpoetry.Butwhatever.We'llblameitonyourteacher.Paraphrasehuh?
