Shahad jumma: William Wordsworth's famous poem I WANDERED LONELY AS CLOUD originally appeared in 1807 in poems in two volumes and a revised edition was published in Wordsworth's collected poems in 1815 . It has four six lines stanza with ABABCC pattern.
And relates the experience of solitary narrator walking alone a Lake boarded by a host of golden daffodils lettering and dancing in the Breeze he is struck by what seemed to be laughing mood of flowers and their energy
Expanding into a kind of a cosmic Communion between the flowers and the movement of the water. And even the stars twinkling in the Milky Way. When he's lying around on the couch in a vacant or pensive mood the daffodils flash upon his inward eye and fill his heart with such pleasure that it dances with the daffodils.
This famous poem contrasts the Solitude of the poet with an uncountable multitude of nature . Its Lines are built upon the difference of the states of being.
First the poet is lost in loneliness so deep that he can only Compare it into a cloud wondering without a purpose or Direction. Then he is thrust back into life in motion by Crowd a crowd of flowers which come to life and assume motion and emotion.
The lonely gazing of the poet negatively contrasts The Shining life of the planets and Waves. by The Last stanza he's quietude has returned but the Solitude he admits to as he lies alone is not loneliness but a bliss as he impressed the live of nature on his imagination.
