Wordsworth+Sonnet

Welcome

I know that it is the weekend and some of you have a busy schedule and so this is not going to be too time consuming. And so I would like you to make some comments on TWO of the details the poet shares about the city in the morning. Do this in the discussion tab. You should title the post with your name and then start with quoting the detail you would like to comment on. I would like you to make at least THREE intelligent and insightful remarks about each detail you choose. You may comment on one another's posts if you wish.

I look forward to reading your comments. The deadline is MONDAY morning, 17th October, at 7:15am.

Enjoy

Mrs Perks

Here is the poem if you did not take it home

Sonnet: Composed Upon Westminster Bridge

Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: This City now 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. Never did sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will: Dear God! the very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still!
