Westminster Abbey
Impressions du Matin
An extract
By
Oscar Wilde
The Thames nocturne of blue and gold
Changed to a Harmony in grey:
A barge with ochre-coloured hay
Dropt from the warf: and chill and cold.
The yellow fog came creeping down
The bridges,till the houses’ walls
Seemed changed to shadows and St.
Paul’s
Loomed like a bubble o’er the town…..
Sonnet
Composed upon Westminster Bridge
Sept.3,1803
By William Wordsworth
Earth has not any thing to shew 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!
