Hey Emily, Thanks so much for your encouraging feedback. My priority is working through the A-Level poetry syllabus so you’ve got your wish! 🧚🏼♂️ ✨ Best of luck with your studies.
hi, i'm an italian student, i'm 18 years old and tomorrow i have an oral test about romanticism poets like Byron, and this video really helps me to understand better Byron, thank you! This video is really well-made, congrats! (sorry for eventually grammar's mistakes)
Hi! I commented a year ago. But I just wanted to say that this video was so well done I still remember it every time I analyse a poem and even after a year here I am again, still replaying and grasping the beauty of this poem so wonderfully and eloquently presented. I fail to find a single video that can summarize the zenith of the poem better than this one. Thanks, Gabriella! Just realized I forgot to subscribe. Done now!
Haha! Aw Natalie this is the sweetest 🥰 I’m so thrilled that my video has stayed with you so strongly! Thanks for revisiting 👋 and so great that you’re now subscribed 🙂
Hey Eva, thanks so much for your kind words. I’m super stoked you found my lesson informative and aesthetically pleasing. Best of luck with your poetry studies. 💫😊🔮
Absolutely loved this ! Not only did you really help me to easily grasp onto the poem, you helped me discover different literary features. Looking forward to using your channel as a prompt for my A levels !!
I'm a new literature student from Malaysia! You helped me so much with my poems, I am so grateful I stumbled upon your channel. I have difficulty analysing all these poems but I found you! Thank you so so much!! :D
So pleased I found this channel. This is an excellent analysis of the poem - the best I've seen (or read). You also read the complete poem beautifully. The only thing that could be added is that it was written to be set to music by Isaac Nathan as one of 29 poems forming the 'Hebrew Melodies' (which you mention at the beginning). This, I think, adds to the understanding of the melodic structure.
I like it so much, ma'am. I am from a country ( Bangladesh ) where the majority of the students try to skip or underestimate studying English. This poem was in my syllabus ( optional ) but I didn't read it then. Now, I have recently passed intermediate and I always like our Bangla literature and poetry so much. so, I was thinking about reading English poetry and I wanted to get started through this poem and I found your video. Thank you so much, ma'am. Keep sharing such beautiful poems with us. I am thinking of taking English Literature for my future studies and graduation. ☺☺☺
Hey Sahed, thank you for your kind words! I am thrilled that you’re thinking of taking English Literature for your studies - no doubt it will be a rewarding experience and put you in good stead for your future. And all the way from Bangladesh! Wow. I’m so glad my lessons are resonating with students like you all over the 🌍! Congratulations for passing at intermediate level and best of luck with your studies. 😌
Hey , thank you for this explanation. I have my sem exams in a week and the analysis for this poem was just so hard to find. You surely do have many viewers from India too . Again .... thank you !
Thank you! This beautiful poem was set to music. I use this melody and sometimes the lyrics and the melody, with the patients I work with as a therapeutic musician.
Thank you so much for making this video. Before english was all about grammar and vocabulary, but you made me fall in love with it and truly find that beauty of literature. 💕 Cannot thank you enough.
If it’s any consolation I’m not a fan of grammar either 🤣 but it has to be done! I find the beauty of literature is in the symbolism and analysis. So glad you enjoyed my video and thanks so much for commenting.
how fortunate for me. to have found your first video. I was researching lyrics used in some. music i found on TH-cam. which led me here. how delightful you and your analysis are.
I have to thank you very much! I have a lecture today and I was lost about how to do one poem analysis. It was really great and helpful. I appreciate your work and I hope your channel grows even more. 🌻
Beautifully read, wonderful analysis, great way to start my day! I quite enjoyed this. Byron is one of my favorite poets, he WAS a rock star. You walk in beauty!
Wowwww…I was searching for the analysis of this poem for a long time I actually saw this few months back and I understood each and every single thing but here I’m back as my exams are just in few days and just in the half video I got all the points and lines Literally THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH it was so perfect ,every damn thing was so on point,you have the perfection of expressing the lines in your way but getting straight in my head, keep making these beautiful explanations though you are beautiful too ❤❤
Hey Denis, thanks for your lovely comment. Yeah, sibilance and alliteration can be a slippery snake to grasp! Glad my lesson helped to clarify the difference. 😄
Absolutely. 💫Your comment got me thinking: The greatest poetry is timeless. It's about making old poetry more relatable to present-day. Thanks so much Paulina! 🖤✨
Thanks for this video. This is one of my favourite poem in English. I first read this poem in its Chinese translation and later read it in English. I still remember how amazed I was when I first read it. Thanks for the interpretation and analysis!! I am no poet but I can grasp stunning beauty of this poem. Your interpretation certainly help me to go deep than just be dazzled by the words!! Love your work!
This is such a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing 🙌🏼 I’d love to hear it read in Chinese purely for the sounds. And the pleasure is mine. Thank you for your kind words and support. 🙏🏻✨
Fantastic video, Gabriella :) Thank you so much. I absolutely adore this poem. There is that transcendental quality associated with these romantic poems which, in my opinion, carry the reader to faraway worlds. I love how taut, and divine, poetry is. It conveys so much in so little. Once again, thank you! Subscribed!
Thank you so much for your analysis!!!👍🏻🥰I’m having a literature exam tomorrow and I’m super nervous about it! Your analysis is very clear and useful! :))
Hey Edith, thanks so much for your kind words. As you’re so dedicated to studying with videos like mine, I’m sure you absolutely bossed your exam! 👏🏼 let me know whether you’re happy with the grade you get. ✨
I find poetry very fascinating. And the things you love or find fascinating also needs nurturing. This really helps! In this cynical world poetry, art and beauty really makes you optimistic. I wish you great luck! Poetry is its own form of spirituality. I'm looking forward to knowing more about poems from you. I would also like to know much about poetic universe. I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks!
I learn a lot from this poem... And you style of teaching really so amazing .... Thank you so much ❤️ ... For your precious effort for us .... And you must have to cover Lord Byron other poem " When we two parted "
Wow!!! 🤍🤍 Great.... This used to be one of my favorite poem and after looking your analysis it became my favorite 🤍🌷 (You're voice is so beautiful and pleasant)
Hey Em, ahh that sucks you can’t go into school! But I’m so glad you’re finding my tutorials valuable - there’s another A-level video dropping on Monday so stay tuned. ✨ and thanks for commenting.
Hi Gabriella. I think the poem says much more about Byron’s emotional immaturity as well as his high openness to experience than about the young woman in question. Seems to me that he did not know her at all and had treated her as a shining example of the mythological feminine ideal. I think the beauty of the poem is how it puts into words the archetypal world and gives the reader hope that it could manifest in reality. Great video btw.
Absolutely. He projects so much of what he feels to be the ideal feminine archetype onto her. But clearly there’s something we readers resonate with here, otherwise it wouldn’t have become the renowned poem it is today. So I wonder what it says about our collective unconscious? 🤔 thanks for commenting!
@@GabriellaTavini I think the heroine (i.e. the ideal female archetype) is a singular, coherent entity within the collective unconscious, whose image is shattered and spread throughout members of the society. So if you ask a father how he’d like his daughter to behave he’ll describe a piece of the image of the heroine, and if you ask a little girl how she’d like her older sister to behave she’ll do the same. If you ask a young man to describe the woman of his dreams he will describe a being who “walks in beauty”. If we combine all these pieces together like a puzzle, we’d have the heroine. Interestingly, it seems that the heroine also has her own “hero’s journey” which seems to complement her male counterpart. This journey is basically Belle’s journey in Beauty and the Beast. The heroine is the being who uses her wisdom and temperance to help the male integrate his shadow, thus civilizing him. Stories like Twilight and Fifty Shades draw heavily on this motif. Lord Byron may have seen himself as something of a beast who needed to be civilized, thus his fascination with Lady Wilmot.
@@Mushin367 yeah the story of the female civilising the male so he can integrate his shadow is a popular narrative. They almost flip it in Pocahontas, or she civilises him to be more human and at one with nature. There’s most definitely an “ideal” feminine Archetype, but I think we’re more accepting of diverse heroines now, which I’m totally here for 🙌🏼
The interpretation of poem was extremely outstanding. Thank you madam for such details. I think one literary device can be added more parallelism (First line of second stanza
Hey friend, choose the one that has similar literary devices to “She Walks in Beauty” so you can compare them. How they’re similar, how they’re different, the emotions that the poets are trying to convey etc. Good luck! 🙌🏼
I think Byron loved this woman-but knew that his love for her was unrequited and unrecognised. When I watch you and see how bright and beautiful you are then I know exactly how he feels. ❤
My goodness Gabriella, by the end of the video you had me enamoured no less with Byron and his poetry, but yourself! I was spellbound. But alas, methinks you must be unattainable yourself... 😉
Nice analysis of the somewhat overwrought Romantics. Hmm, what does A-level mean: introduction or advanced like I'll get an A if I write a paper this good?
@@GabriellaTavini Now it makes sense. I live in the USA, but we do love Keats and Byron, the Shelleys, Blake, Wordsworth and Cooleridge. (Did I get them all, the major ones? ☺️)
@@jackson4404 pretty much! Oh Thomas Hardy and the Brontë sisters are pretty iconic. You can visit the old Brontë family home and town here - it’s beautiful.
More about the Romantics, please. How about a contrast of Keats's "Ode on Melancholy"? "She dwells with Beauty-Beauty that must die...." I love the latter for Keats tells the truth that others might feel too depressing to tell.
Hey June - such a good shout! And melancholy was fashionable at one point during Shakespeare’s time, so I’d be keen to explore this emotion more. Thanks for your comment. 🙂

Captivating! Well done.
Thank you kindly ☺️
Thank you for sharing this nice work
Always a pleasure - big thanks for commenting 😁✨
After this video I like this poem even more..
I’m stoked my video made you adore Byron’s masterpiece even more. 🙌🏼
My goodness Gabriella, by the end of the video you had me enamoured no less with Byron and his poetry, but yourself! I was spellbound. But alas, methinks you must be unattainable yourself... 😉
What a poetic compliment - thank you kindly. 🙂 Byron would approve.
Nice analysis of the somewhat overwrought Romantics.
Hmm, what does A-level mean: introduction or advanced like I'll get an A if I write a paper this good?
Thank you for commenting Jackson. Good question! A-level is the name for the most popular exam body here in the UK for 16 to 18 year-olds. 🙂
@@GabriellaTavini Now it makes sense. I live in the USA, but we do love Keats and Byron, the Shelleys, Blake, Wordsworth and Cooleridge. (Did I get them all, the major ones? ☺️)
@@jackson4404 pretty much! Oh Thomas Hardy and the Brontë sisters are pretty iconic. You can visit the old Brontë family home and town here - it’s beautiful.
More about the Romantics, please. How about a contrast of Keats's "Ode on Melancholy"? "She dwells with Beauty-Beauty that must die...." I love the latter for Keats tells the truth that others might feel too depressing to tell.
Hey June - such a good shout! And melancholy was fashionable at one point during Shakespeare’s time, so I’d be keen to explore this emotion more. Thanks for your comment. 🙂
Thank you 🥺💕
