People can be very imaginative and picture the wildest scenes in their heads. A poem that supports this is "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud‚" by William Wordsworth. This poem is written from the first person view of the person lying on a couch in the house‚ using a pleasant and calming tone. The person pictures two main scenes: (1) nature with trees‚ daffodils‚ and hills‚ and (2) space with stars and the Milky Way.
