Muir And Wordsworth

“Calypso Borealis” and “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” are two very descriptive pieces of writing but are written from two different point of views and angles.

The two authors have expressed their relationships with nature by vividly describing their emotions and their environment giving the reader the ability to envision the text.

“I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” is a very descriptive poem about nature and how it connects to his feelings, which allows the readers to imagine what he is feeling through nature. In “I Wandered Lonely as a cloud Wordsworth states directly how he is feeling: “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud.
