COMPOSED UPON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE by WILLIAM WODSWORTH
Poetry is an expression of a whole range of human emotions. William Wordsworth a famous nature poet wrote a magnificent sonnet appreciating the view of London city from Westminster Bridge. William uses his sense of sight and his flair of expression in the poem. The beauty of the great city of London forms inspiration of the poem. It is a descriptive poem in which a realistic picture is painted in words.
The title is of prior importance as it tells us where the poet was when he was inspired. The proper noun 'Westminster Bridge' is important as it is direct and connects to the content of the poem. The poet is standing on the bridge appreciating the beauty of the city of London. An important feature to note is that the poet loved solitude and when he sees the city in the early morning devoid of its bustle and noise, he is impressed.
He begins the poem personifying Earth telling the reader that the beauty that it reflects touches everybody who sees it -'not anything to show more fair.....'
