Wordsworth then proceeds to personify the daffodils as humans‚ describing the daffodils as ‘fluttering and dancing in the breeze’ He also personifies the daffodils as a ‘jocund company’‚ suggesting the flowers have feelings just as humans do.

In "Sonnet 18‚" Shakespeare shows his audience that his love will be preserved through his "eternal lines" of poetry by comparing his love and poetry with a summer’s day. Shakespeare then uses personification to emphasize these comparisons and make his theme clearer to his audience. Shakespeare also uses repetition of single words and ideas throughout the sonnet in order to stress the theme that his love and poetry are eternal‚ unlike other aspects of the natural world.

An analysis of imagery in Emily Dickinson’s “Because I could not stop for Death” shows that death is not the end‚ but is simply a passing into eternity
