“The beauty of the morning…glittering in the smokeless air”- Explain.

*The beauty of the London refers to the beauty of the things which one can see in London such as ships, domes, theatres, temples etc.
*This beauty is ‘silent’ because it is early in the morning, and the whole city is now at rest. Therefore the atmosphere is unexpectedly quite.It is also ‘bare’ because in the smokeless air of the morning, everything is distinctly visible. So everything looks bright and glittering.
