Was she.

Bride of Abydos; Canto 1.

She was a soft landscape of mild earth,

Where all was harmony, and calm and quiet,

Luxuriant, budding; cheerful without mirth,

Which, if not happiness, is more nigh it

Than are your mighty passions and so forth,

Which some call "the sublime": I wish they'd try it;

I've seen your stormy seas and stormy women,

And pity lovers rather more than seamen.
