Description
| Question | Answer |
| Structure | ABBA to start, imitating rest because it sounds like a heartbeat. Then ABAB which is far more quick and rapid, as if he has noticed the true beauty of the city It is a sonnet with an octave then sestet making it seem catchy |
| Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by | The fist two lines are simple and talk literally about the cities beauty |
| A sight so touching in its majesty: This City now doth, like a garment, wear | Antithesis as touching is gentle and majesty is strong, garment are high class and a capital C is trying to symbolize a human entity |
| The beauty of the morning; silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie | Silent and bare connote towards the city having natural beauty, antithesis. The morning beauty is natural and the rest are man made, connoting both are needed to create a sense of beauty |
| Open unto the fields, and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air | fields and sky are devices to connote the unknown and exploration Talks about the nature of the city, so we can empathize with it using visual imagery to do so |
| Never did sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; | Giving the sun a sex connotes towards it being physically alive and giving out happiness , which is pathetic fallacy |
| Ne’er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will: | The personification of the river makes it seem happy like it wants to be a part of the city and everyone has free will here it is also a metaphor |
| Dear God! the very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still! | The personification and metaphor connote we haven't seen the cities full beauty yet |
