Lord Byron, for instance, describing Leila's eyes, in the " Giacour, " says : " Her eye's dark charm 'twere vain to tell, But gaze on that of the gazelle, It will assist thy fancy well : As large, as languishingly dark, But soul beam'd forth in every spark. " And when addressing the maid of Athens in his tender and pathetic lines, he writes, " By those lids whose jetty fringe kiss thy soft cheeks' blooming tinge. " He tells, also, how 56 Fo Ik-Lore of Women the beautiful Teresa had " the Asiati...c eye " dark as the sky ; and of the innocent Haidee he gives this picture : " Her hair, I said, was auburn, but her eyes Were black as death, their lashes the same hue Of downcast length, in whose silk shadows lies Deepest attraction ; for when to the view Forth from its raven fringe the full glance flies, Ne'er with such force the swiftest arrow flew. " Apart from poetic imagery, the black-eyed sisterhood have rarely failed to get their share of praise, although, it is true, artists have seldom, if ever, painted the Madonna dark, for, it must be remembered : " In the old time black was not counted fair, Or if it were it bore not beauty's name, But now is black beauty's successive heir.
