Wordsworth on London
Wordsworth on london, standing on westminster bridge:
"Earth has not anything to show more fair
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
Asight so touching in its majesty:
This city doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air."

'all bright and glittering in the smokeless air'! its strange to hear that that used to be a description of london(!)
he wrote it a while ago...!! A commentary on modernism more so than postmodernism i think.
dont like anonymous commentors. my blog is a party place where people introduce theirselves. warm, fuzzy and friendly...
