Can anyone explain if it is proper to use the word upon in the following way: "...thy voice, as silver bells that strike upon church towers at noon..." Many thanks, Noam thegistsmith@gmail.com
Yes, it's fine. Upon is a preposition with the following meanings: 1. up and on; upward so as to get or be on: He climbed upon his horse and rode off. 2. in an elevated position on: There is a television antenna upon every house in the neighborhood. In your example, it's in the second meaning.
