Question

47. "The river glideth at his own sweet will." - The expression 'at his own sweet will' means ??

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In the poem 'Composed Upon Westminster Bridge' William Wordsworth uses personification to depict the city, the river and the business heart of the city. The line 'the river glideth at his own sweet will' refers to the autonomy that Nature has - always used by, but still more powerful than, man.
