SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY by: George Gordon (Lord) Byron (1788-1824) 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 mellow’d to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

My reaction of Happy Endings and A Rose for Emily. Happy Endings is a quite interesting short story. Margaret Atwood is such a great author of her peers. She has put a different twist in literature.

They all have a straightforward beginning‚ middle‚ and end. With Happy Endings‚ it has many different scenarios that can possibly happen before
