"London" exposes urban suffering from "summary" of Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the and Other Poems of the Romantic Era by Coleridge,Blake,Wordsworth,Byron,,Shelley,Keats
Upon the streets of London, one can witness the palpable suffering of its urban inhabitants. The cries of the chimney sweepers echo through the narrow lanes, their young voices tainted by the soot and grime that cover their fragile bodies. The harrowing sight of the impoverished children, forced into labor at such a tender age, speaks volumes about the harsh realities of city life. As one navigates through the bustling city, the stench of decay and filth permeates the air, a constant reminder of the squalor that plagues the overcrowded tenements. The weary faces of the destitute beggars, their eyes hollow with despair, bear witness to the relentless struggle for survival in a city indifferent to their plight. Amidst the opulence of the aristocratic mansions and grand cathedrals, the juxtaposition of poverty and wealth is starkly evident. The stark contrast between the lavish lifestyles of the privileged few and the abject poverty of the masses serves as a poignant commentary on the social inequalities that define urban life. The river Thames, once a symbol of prosperity and trade, now serves as a murky grave for the countless souls who have succumbed to disease and destitution. The polluted waters reflect the moral decay that pervades the city, a reflection of the collective suffering of its inhabitants. In the shadows of the towering buildings and bustling markets, the forgotten souls of London languish in obscurity, their voices drowned out by the cacophony of urban life. The city's facade of progress and modernity belies the deep-seated suffering that festers within its streets, a reminder of the human cost of unchecked industrialization and urbanization.
