It seems to me that the mention of the palace immediately invites its residents to take a closer look at the poem. The author then proceeds to speak in an almost harsh way about the things that are going on around him in London. I think that he could have done this because he realized that he finally got the attention of those secured within the palace walls. In a sense, his description of his surroundings was an amplification of what he actually saw in order to enlighten those with the power to create change.AmyD.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00711239097789482944noreply@blogger.com
