Answer:

The speaker describes the city as splendid, unparalleled, and bathed in the first light. She also describes the air of the city as clear and smokeless.

The sight of the city, London, in the words of William Wordsworth, was a 'sight in its majesty.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The lovely poem "Composed upon Westminster Bridge" by William Wordsworth (September 3, 1802" ) described London as it was before it was polluted by the Industrial Revolution. Before that perilous period, London, in Wordsworth's words, possessed clear air and smokeless atmosphere and emerged in majesty as the morning rising, and bright as the sun.
