"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth


Regarding the poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth, I think that the daffodils he mentiones, represent the beauty of nature. That is why the author refers to them by using beautiful and precise words such as golden and wealth.

The beauty of nature, especially the daffodils come to Wordworth’s mind when he feels alone in the world or feelings of sadness come to his heart, so then is when those memories of the lake besides of all that beauty, make him feel better and accompanied. In a way those golden daffodils were like a drug for the author to overcome his sad states. In other words, to think of that just brings him joy, and that is the reason to say “ A poet could not but be gay, in such a jocund company”.

The comparison I would make between this poem and the previous ones I have read, it is the way the poets relate feelings to nature, and also how they personify and compare nature to what they feel while they write a poem.

Good points!!!!! Nature is the main inspiration for romantic poets; why we lost it... could be because we stopped paying attention to life and now we're more concerned about money??? Do you agree? Why???

Take care,
