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.

-Excerpt from the poem "She Walks in Beauty" by George Gordon, Lord Byron

Dyeing her hair light really brought out Ayumi's dark and mysterious eyes. It's a fascinating look. In parts of the video clip for "M" she positively looks like an alien creature as the slo-mo closeups linger on her unblinking eyes.)

She walks in Beauty
by George Gordon, Lord Byron

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 mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd 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!
