...and the last one for tonight - I promise!
My favourite pome ...
Composed Upon Westminster Bridge - William Wordsworth
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 the 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!
It just sums up how I feel about London - because I hardly ever go there, it always seems a bit exotic. And once I did go through Waterloo at sunrise and the city did feel like a big living thing about to wake up! Going up in the Eye was fab too.
I do have other favourite poems, but this is the one I can always recite.
