Earth has not anything to show more fair ......

Probably exaggerating a bit there. But William Wordsworth used the line to open his 'Upon Westminster Bridge' poem, and he was only referring to his view of London and the River Thames, after all. (It's probably the only poem I learned all the lines of during five years of high school English Literature lessons.) See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz4v9x3PIZc 

So there I was admiring the view of Sydney's harbour and CBD, from North Head today. And it was good.
