Poetry Comparison: London & Composed Upon Westminster Bridge
In both poems, the speaker has placed himself in London. ... William Wordsworth chooses to place himself on Westminster Bridge, giving him a scenic and awesome view of London. William Blake, however, has chosen to be in the streets, at a time where London would be at its darkest. This is a complete contrast to Wordsworths’ view, which is one that gives London an air of potential, a city waiting to become a leading industrial power. ... Wordsworths’ poems’ purpose is to present London as a picturesque city, one that has an overwhelming skyline to behold.
