On 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. ..." Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802 by William Wordsworth (part only). In memoriam 22 March 2017.
