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.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
