For my second test I choose the poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth because I like the imagery in it of the dancing daffodils. After reading the poem many times I had realized that most of this imagery is produced by the many metaphors and similes. In the first line‚ Wordsworth says "I wandered lonely as a cloud." This is a simile comparing the wondering of a man to a cloud drifting through the sky. I think that the wandering cloud is lonely because there is nothing else that

that unify a certain style of poetry. William Wordsworth‚ a Romantic poet‚ used images of nature along with themes of idealism expressed with emotion in his poetry.

Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way‚ They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: 10 Ten thousand saw I at a glance‚ Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

William Wordsworth deals with a very contemporary issue in his poem „The world is too much with us…”‚ which is kind of surprising‚ because the author of this poem lived in the 19th century and it seems that back then people had already realized that human beings are destroying Earth and they take nature for granted. I guess Wordsworth wrote this poem to try making people aware of their actions and its outcomes. The speaker of this poem is a lyrical I‚ as you can see in line 11 where the poet

"Lines Written in Early Spring‚" by William Wordsworth‚ sets the tone within the title. The thought of early spring brings new life and harmony to the mind of the reader. A vision of Wordsworth sitting in a open field‚ observing the flowers budding and bunnies hopping around comes to the reader’s mind. He "heard a thousand blended notes" of birds singing and the world blooming around him‚ thoughts of Bambi are brought to mind. Spring‚ for me‚ creates a feeling of joy‚ and I think it is the best of

He never limited himself to a title where you would say he’s poet of only romance or drama but whatever went wept through his soul he would engrave it in words.
