Her eye (I'm very fond of handsome eyes)
Was large and dark, suppressing half its fire
Until she spoke, then through its soft disguise
Flash'd an expression more of pride than ire,
And love than either; and there would arise,
A something in them which was not desire,
But would have been, perhaps, but for the soul,
Which struggled through and chansten'd down the whole.
Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)

Half meek and compliant;
Black eyes, with a wondrous, witching charm
To bring us good or to work with harm.

The neighbor diamond, and out-faces
That sun-shine by their own sweet graces.
