Questions: In this excerpt from Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty," which two sets of lines show that Byron's subject is rich in kindness and grace? 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 Which waves in every raven tress. Or softly lightens orer her face, Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

In the excerpt from Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty," the two sets of lines that show Byron's subject is rich in kindness and grace are:

  1. "And all that's best of dark and bright / Meet in her aspect and her eyes;"
  2. "Where thoughts serenely sweet express, / How pure, how dear their dwelling-place."
Explanation
Set 1: "And all that's best of dark and bright / Meet in her aspect and her eyes;"

These lines suggest a harmonious blend of contrasting qualities, indicating a balanced and graceful nature. The use of "best of dark and bright" implies that she embodies the finest attributes of both, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for her inner kindness and grace.

Set 2: "Where thoughts serenely sweet express, / How pure, how dear their dwelling-place."

These lines directly describe the subject's thoughts as "serenely sweet," indicating a kind and gentle nature. The words "pure" and "dear" further emphasize the subject's inner grace and goodness.
