A bridge can play many roles in art, for example * as a work of art in itself in addition to any functional considerations; * as a focal point for a novel or film; * as a metaphor in song or poetry; * as the main subject of a painting or photograph, or to frame one and give perspective; * as a home for other works of art, such as sculptures ==Poems== *The nursery rhyme ''London Bridge is falling down'' *William McGonagall's poem on ''The Tay Bridge Disaster'' (1880) *Wordsworth's famous sonnet "Composed upon Westminster Bridge, Sept. 3, 1802", opening with the famous lines, referring to the view from the bridge, *:''Earth has not anything to show more fair:'' *:''Dull would he be of soul who could pass by'' *:''A sight so touching in its majesty.'' *Julia A. Moore's poem on the ''Ashtabula Disaster'': *:''Have you heard of the dreadful fate'' *::''Of Mr. P. P. Bliss and wife?'' *:''Of their death I will relate,'' *::''And also others lost their life;'' *:''Ashtabula Bridge disaster,'' *::''Where so many people died'' *:''Without a thought that destruction'' *::''Would plunge them 'neath the wheel of tide.''
