As Lord Byron states, "all that's best of dark and bright", he suggests that the woman he describes has contrasting characteristics. Although there is contrast, they seem to have a perfect balance. Byron also describes a subtle conflict with his contrasting transitional words:
"So soft, so calm, yet eloquent"
"The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in
goodness spent"
The fact that he notes her conflicting characteristics shows how deeply he desires this woman. He is so entranced, that even the parts of her that seem to conflict have a certain shine to them.
