1. Daffodils
William wordsworth’s passion for nature is well known. That’s way he is called the poet of nature. He is worshipper and ardent lover of nature. It was a creed for him. To him, nature is a teacher and preacher. When we go through his poem “ Daffodils” we come to know that he has presented before us the healthy, ennobling, purifying and enduring impact of nature on human beings.
Once, when the poet was roaming the valleys and the hills happily. He was feeling free like the high floating cloud. All of a sudden, he saw a host of golden daffodils growing in the margin of a lake. They were in great numbers and were dancing vividly in the breeze. They looked continuous like the stars that twinkle in the Milky Way. The flowers were growing in an endless line along the edge of the lake. Their dance was more beautiful than that of the waves. The poet felt very happy in this joyful company. He continued gazing at scene. This scene became the permanent part of the memory of the poet. In solitude, whenever he recollected the scene, his soul, in extreme ecstasy began to dance like the fluttering daffodils.
2. Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening
Robert Frost was famous American poet. His poetry focused on the themes of nature in which he embedded the contemporary and philosophical issues of his time. We can clearly see his qualities in his poem stopping by woods on a snowy evening. This poem depicts the poet’s pure delight. He enjoys the beauty of snow-wrapped woods when he stops near a small area of woodland. Perhaps the poet knows the owner of the forest who lives in a nearby village. However he is satisfied that the owner does not see him watching his woodlands. The horse of the poet wonders why they have stopped at a barren place. It asks question by jingling its bridle a bit. It seems as if it is asking its rider whether they have done something wrong. The poet could hear the slight sound of soft wind and snow falling there.
