I am no poet, but with the help of my friend Google I found the poem below and want to dedicate it to the ladies on ESA. May you have a wonderful Women's Day, be spoiled by those you love, or if you working today by each and every guy walking through your door.

May you be respected for the woman you are, and treated as such.


SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

-Lord Byron

A long time favourite from the innocent days when I still believed in romance.
Thank you for the reminder.
