'A sight so touching in its majesty': People share Wordsworth poem about Westminster Bridge after the terror attack
After yesterday's terror attack, along with the expressions of grief and worry, many people have posted messages of hope and defiance on social media.
Many people are sharing the William Wordsworth poem "Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802", to show that London's beauty is unmarred by the actions of the man who struck fear into the heart of the capital.
The poem, written in 1802, is about the beauty of London and the bridge, on which civilians were mown down yesterday.
We must never stop seeing this through William Wordsworth's eyes: "Earth has not anything to show more fair". pic.twitter.com/2fJ34wi24h
