• You are looking at the wrong Wikisource. The text for this poem was, and still is, on the multilingual Wikisource. You are looking at the English Wikisource. The English Wikisource has only recently been created. The interwiki link on this page used to point to the correct place on the multilingual Wikisource. Then the interwiki linking system was altered, so that the links all suddenly pointed to a different wiki. However, in many cases, such as in this one, the articles pointed to were not copied from the multilingual Wikisource to the English Wikisource. Uncle G 19:05, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

The poem "She walks in beauty" had multiple meaning, on one level it is describing a lady, however, if you pay close attention, George Gordon uses a lot of color and imagery in the poem. All those color have a sense of meaning if we try to analyze the poem with the history of that time. But, the lady in the poem should represent something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.202.246 (talk) 21:05, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Cultural references

Suede's song "heroine" begins in the line "she walks in beauty, like the night", which is obviously a reference to this poem. If you bothered mentioning Glee in this article, I suppose Suede would be appropriate too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.159.182.135 (talk) 13:29, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

The first four lines of "She Walks in Beauty" are recited by Jim (Christopher Lloyd) in the TV series Taxi when Elaine (Marilu Henner) emerges from the bathroom having made herself "exquisite" for an art gallery opening. In the episode ("Louis Goes Too Far", fourth season), Elaine calls the National Organization For Women after catching Louis (Danny DeVito) watching her undress through a peephole. I will leave it for another editor to determine whether this information should be included in the article. Pololei (talk) 19:41, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Star Trek. The first line is used to honor Nichelle Nichols, Lt. Uhura, attributed explicitly to Byron in the dialog, and thematically significant in the Star Trek season three episode "Is There In Truth No Beauty?" first aired 18 October 1968. Kollos, an alien with no humanoid form from a species known for its navigational knowleges, agrees with Spock to transfer his mind into Spock's temporarily in order to navigate the Enterprise back into the galaxy. Kollos is by Spock's station, and Spock is wearing a visor. The lid opens, then Spock comes out from behind the shield and takes off the visor.) SPOCK: This is delightful. I know you. All of you. James Kirk, Captain and friend for many years. And Leonard McCoy, also of long acquaintance. And Uhura, whose name means freedom. She walks in beauty, like the night. MCCOY: That's not Spock. SPOCK: Are you surprised to find that I've read Byron, Doctor? MCCOY: That's Spock! KIRK: Am I addressing the Ambassador? SPOCK: In part. That is, part of us is known to you as Kollos. Ah, Miranda. There you are. O brave new world, that has such creatures in it. MIRANDA: 'Tis new to thee. SPOCK: My world is next for us. Captain Kirk, I speak for all of us you call Medusans. I am sorry for the trouble I've brought to your ship. KIRK: We don't hold you to blame for what happened, and thank you now for your help. 95.223.118.35 (talk) 02:55, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
