It was written on a stormy day in spring, while Wordsworth was taking a walk with his sister Dorothy Wordsworth, and you can see from the very first sentence that the poet is inside the nature 's maze, by saying 'I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud ' as if this is the time to be disconnected and isolated.

The poem uses a descriptive language which consists of six lines each in four stanzas, as in appreciation of dancing yellow flowers surrounding the poet with great fragrance. Wordsworth used a very simple yet dialect language as it represents a personal experience in a single mood or a moment of such consciousness. Wordsworth language is often recognised anywhere because of its influence on the reader, also mostly because it carries beautiful structure among every line as if each line can be a complete poem as a whole. The beginning or the rebirth of one by nature blessed with the enjoyable dancing daffodils.

When I first read Daffodils, I was shocked. I was blown away by Wordsworth design of a whole fantastic journey. My mind came to imagine every line, every word and even every tree branch. I went with Wordsworth to his quite place asking for some peace of mind myself. I walked between the fresh yellow flowers and touched the sky. I sat behind the sea in harmony while everything was dancing. I felt, for a brief amount of time, that I was exploring a new world I never been to before. The adventure to go where nobody is around, no voice, no anything. Just you and your inner soul admiring the way waves move and shackle each other, the way the sun is moving and the thin air is playing with the flowers. This poem had not been but a pleasure to me. This poem considered to be one of the most profound poems I had the honour to read, love and
John Muir’s essay, The Calypso Borealis, and William Wordsworth’s poem, I wandered Lonely as a Cloud, are two wonderfully written works centered towards their love for nature. They were able to create vivd images in the reader’s head through their writing as well as emotional transitions. Both works, inspired by events in the 19th century, have their differences, however, their emotion and love for nature is the same and creates the same impact with the
Gentle sea breeze tickled my face as I watched wisps of white fluff drifted across a crystal clear blue sky. The rhythmic sound of the wave; the screeching of the sea birds was so familiar and hypnotic at the same time. However, my children’s pearls of laughter turned all the other sounds into background

“Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature” by Gerard De Nerval. In the story “The flowers” flowers play a major role in the development and symbolism of the story. Flowers symbolized Myop 's innocence. Surprise is the element that Alice Walker illustrates in her story. The theme of surprise is driven forward by imagery and setting.
In the first stanza’s, the narrator’s voice and perspective is more collective and unreliable, as in “they told me”, but nonetheless the references to the “sea’s edge” and “sea-wet shell” remain constant. Later on the poem, this voice matures, as the “cadence of the trees” and the “quick of autumn grasses” symbolize the continuum of life and death, highlighting to the reader the inevitable cycle of time. The relationship that Harwood has between the landscape and her memories allows for her to delve deeper into her own life and access these thoughts, describing the singular moments of human activity and our cultural values that imbue themselves into landscapes. In the poem’s final stanza, the link back to the narrator lying “secure in her father’s arms” similar to the initial memory gives the poem a similar cyclical structure, as Harwood in her moment of death finds comfort in these memories of nature. The water motif reemerges in the poem’s final lines, as “peace of this day will shine/like light on the face of the waters.”
In the poem “The World Is Too Much with Us”, William Wordsworth seems to be expressing his discontentment with the path society is taking away from the beautiful necessities of nature as it veers into an industrial era. Through the use of specially crafted structure, precise diction, and various allusions, Wordsworth displays his moral disagreement with the new path based on the tragedy of ignoring the tranquil state of humanity present when one is in association with nature. The use of contradictory diction by Wordsworth helps display the extreme variation he sees between the enemy of industry and the ally of nature (Marrero). The phrases “late and soon” and “getting and spending” make it seem as though humanity has been living its life amiss for some time as the focus is on self- indulgence through goods (Wordsworth line 2).
These images show Wordsworth’s relationship with nature because he personifies this flower allowing him to relate it and become one with nature.

This image seems at first cold, but it is a realistic judgment of her ideas of parenthood. The feeling of distance is also shown in: “I’m not more your mother than the cloud that distils as mirror to reflect its own slow effacement at the wind’s hoard.” The final lines of the poem present the reassuring vision of a loving mother attending to her baby's needs. Plath’s self-image – ‘cow-heavy and floral in my Victorian nightgown’ – is self-deprecating and realistic. The final image is an optimistic one.
