She Walks in Beauty, Like the Night

[Robert Wun | Haute Couture Fall Winter 2024/2025]


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 that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

-- George Gordon, Lord Byron

  5. Always loved that. I saw someone mentioned that you may or may not know about. Her name is Margaret Chase Smith. Very interesting woman you might enjoy reading about.
