Composed Upon Westminster Bridge
William Wordsworth
“Earth has not anything to show more fair…this city now doth, like a garment wear”- What does the poet mean by this? What is the sight referred to here? Who would be dull of soul and why? Why the city is compared with ‘garment wear’?
*The sight of the city of London in the early morning is very beautiful. According to Wordsworth, nothing is more beautiful in this world than the scene visible from the Westminster Bridge early in the morning.
* The beautiful scene of London glittering brightly in the light of the early sun is the sight referred to here.
*According to Wordsworth, a person remaining unimpressed by the beauty of London in the morning as seen from the Westminster Bridge, would be dull of soul. The sight, according to the poet, is very charming. But a person, indifferent to such a glorious beauty, is sure to be dull because of lack of aesthetic sense.
* Wordsworth looks upon the beauty of London in the morning as a dress. The bright light of the sun covers the whole city. The implication is that as a dress covers body for a short while, this beauty will not exist for ever, rather it will vanish with the start of the normal activity of the city.
