“Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendor, 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!”
( From Wordsworth’s sonnet
Composed upon Westminster Bridge
)
