  4. 静夜思 床前明月光，疑是地上霜。 举头望明月，低头思故乡。 So bright a gleam on the foot of my bed. Could there have been a frost already ? Lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight. Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home.

  24. 2. What is expressed in this poem? How do you translate the underlined sentence?

  25. She Walks In Beauty --- Byron 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. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace

  26. Which waves in every raven trees, Or so softly lightens over her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that check, and ovver 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.
