Composed Upon Westminster Bridge
“The river glideth at his own sweet will”- What river has been mentioned here? Why does the poet use ‘his’ to refer the river? What does the poet mean to say?
The name of the river mentioned here is the Thames.
The poet has used pronominal adjective (his) to personify the river. The deliberate use of the river in the masculine gender by the poet seems to suggest that this particular river is more aggressive and heavier than other rivers.
The poet means to say that the river Thames flows freely. It is not disturbed by the ships and the sailors. At this hour of the morning there is nothing to disturb the natural flow of the river.
