The garment is compared with
Answers
The question refers to the poem “Upon Westminster Bridge” by William Wordsworth.
The lines in question are:
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;
As is evident from the lines, the simile compares the garment to the morning. Here Wordsworth is talking about the city of London. He attempts to find beauty in the industrial set up. He skillfully personifies the city itself, to breathe life into the poem. Thus, the city is portrayed as a giant with a ‘mighty heart’ that is alive. To him dawn is not just an everyday phenomenon, but a phenomenon when the city seems to wear dawn, seems to take all the sun rays upon itself as if the city was trying to wear a piece of clothing. The garment thus refers to the morning.
