Explanation:

Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty" is a lyrical poem that discusses the definition of perfection and beauty in a person. The poem also emphasizes the balance of beauty and goodness in a person, which can lead to the embodiment of the perfect lover/ beloved.

In his statement of "the nameless grace", Byron seems to suggest to the idea of the Christian belief of grace which is the forgiving quality of a person. It may also well be associated with the idea of a perfect balance of the light and darkness in the woman who had captured his fancy. Her beauty which seems to surpass every other women, which is the main point of the author's purpose, can be seen in "every raven tress" meaning, her grace can be found in all strands of her hair, shows how much he appreciates her beauty or finds her beautiful.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
