Answer :-

In the poem ‘Upon Westminster Bridge’ The poet William Wordsworth says this.

The poet is so overwhelmed by the magnificent beauty of the city of London visible from the Westminster Bridge in the early morning that he is prompted to say this.

In the poem ‘Upon Westminster Bridge’ the romantic poet William Wordsworth celebrates the beauty of the city of London. The rays of the early rising Sun over London enchants the poet. The poet personifies the city which seems to wear the splendor of the morning like a garment. The poet is so charmed by the profound serenity and calmness without hustle and bustle that he feels if a person passes over the bridge the sight will obviously touch his mind in its majesty.

If any person can ignore this majestic beauty and not be fascinated by this, then surely he lacks aesthetics sense. Such a person who is so indifferent to the natural surroundings must be insensitive, dull or boring in nature.
