COMPOSED UPON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE - WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
William Wordsworth was one of the romantic poets that gave the new romantic movement a definite form.
Wordsworth's poetical words are one of the noblest and most significant poems.
Wordsworth said that men would hurry to see skyrockets but they never notice Orion and pleads from their own doorsteps.
Regard's Wordsworth, Tennyson has said that he " uttered nothing base".
Wordsworth took on a mission to set free poetry from all "conceits."
His attempt was to speak in simple language and portray men as they are.
This is why we need to understand Wordsworth's poem- the hidden beauty.
According to Wordsworth in childhood, man is sensitive as the wind harm to all natural influences.
The poet feels that society and the crowded unnatural life of cities tend to weaken humanity.
Returning to natural, simple living is the only remedy for human wretchedness (girls co-relate with CORONA).
Natural instincts and pleasures are the true standards of a man's happiness in this life.
All artificial pleasures grow lonesome.
The present poem "Composed upon Westminster Bridge carries these mystic values.
In this poem, the poet is crossing.
Westminster Bridge in London is early in the morning.
Wordsworth loves nature. He finds the beautiful clear scene of the London skyline.
Nothing could be more quiet and lovely as this is to be found in nature "Earth has nothing to show more beautiful''.
The city looks serene.
The river Thames seems to be still.
The speaker seeing breathtaking beauty acknowledges the industrial forces.
At this time all things are calm and still.
The poet says only a dull heart would pass by without being affected by the beauty.
It seems London is wearing the gown of the morning.
The city shines like a gem. Never ever beauty was seen in such a sight.
Through this poem, the poet seems to give a vision of an ideal city.
The poet has personified the city as wearing a gown of the morning.
We find the metaphor in 'very houses' and 'mighty heart' which also reveals the patriotism of the poem.
