In London, "and masquerading,"

Answer 1

In the poem "The Sun Has Long Been Set" written by William Wordsworth, he somehow critizes the life style in the city which can be fake, not like nature, and as an example of it he mentiones Parades, this type of event are held for many reasons, but are usually celebrations of some sort where people march in costumes. A masquerade is other sort of party where the people invited usually wear a costume and a mask. With his poem William Wordsworth states London is beautiful on certain nights in June and there is no way to outshine nature and people's costumes and celebration can be pretentious and a little silly.
