Descriptive Answer Type (Marks 5)
1. Give the substance of the poem ‘Upon Westminster Bridge’.
Ans: William Wordsworth is a great lover of nature. His
sonnet, ‘Upon Westminster
Bridge’ is a delightful poem in which he discovers
natural beauty of the city of London. London looks more beautiful than any
scene on the earth in the light of morning. A person who passes by without
enjoying such beauty of the
city is an insensitive person who has lack of sense of beauty. The city seems
to wear the beauty of early morning like a new garment. Ships, towers, domes,
theatres and temples are clearly visible. The air of London city is smokeless.
So, all objects of the city look bright and glittering.
The sun has never shone more
beautifully even on valley, rock and hills. The whole city appears to be quite
different. The poet thinks that he has never experienced such deep calmness
before. The river Thames flows gently. The houses in the city appears to be
asleep as the people inside are still sleeping. The poet feels that the mighty
heart of London is lying still as it is motionless and noiseless morning. (More Questions in complete notes...)
