Question

Which line in this excerpt from Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty" contains examples of alliteration? 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.

Answer 1

Answer:

like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies

Explanation:

Alliteration refers to the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjoining or nearby words. In that respect, the line from Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty" contains the same sound /k/ at the start of the words cloudless and climes, and the same sound /s/ at the beginning of the words starry and skies.
