"A sight so touching in its majesty:" - Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802 by William Wordsworth
To say that something is "touching in its majesty" is almost a paradox, a contradiction in terms.
"Crash" is an onomatopoeia because it is mimicking a sound in real life.
"Til crash! the cruel coulter past," - To a Mouse by Robert Burns
These lines have a parallel structure, in which he claims that the effect of the morning light on London creates a beauty that has "never" been experienced before. This shows a hyperbole.
"Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!" - Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802 by William Wordsworth
