The substance of the poem
Or
Justify the title of the poem
Wordsworth is a great poet of nature and most of his poems reflect the natural beauty and the rustic landscapes, but The Westminster bridge is one of the
rare poems where he describes the cityscape. The poet was going to France,
crossing the Westminster Bridge over the Thames in a coach early in the morning
with his sister Dorothy Wordsworth on 31st July 1802 between 5 am and 6 am.He was overwhelmed, seeing the beauty of London and wrote down that poem.
The sun is just pleasant and the
great city of London is bathing in the first light of its splendor. The poet
is deeply impressed by the beauty of the scene. Wordsworth seems it to appears to be the loveliest sight. None ignores this unparalleled and magestic sight.
only a person with having a dull soul can ignore this natural beauty. The city seems
to wear garments of golden sunbeams.
The city is very quiet and visible. The sky is clear and dustfree and
smoke-free. There is no noise in the atmosphere. Everything is quiet and quiet.
Everything in the city such as ships, towers, houses, theaters, temples, etc. is
clearly visible even in the green fields lying far away in the unadulterated
morning air. Everything shines brightly in the golden rays of the rising
sun. The valley, the rock, and the hill look beautiful at sunrise. But the city
of London is the most beautiful. The river (Thames) flows freely. Its course is
not hindered by the movement of boats or ships. The very houses seem to be
sleeping. London, the heart of the country, remains calm and quiet as if by a
roaring giant. The poet made a pleasing statement to God, the creator of all
goodness in the world, expressing his sincere gratitude to Him
The whole poem
exposes the poets’ splendid experience of the beauty of London city in the early
morning from the Westminster bridge without which he could not estimate the beauty of London .Hence the title is apt and appropriate .What
