The words were used to illustrate the intensity of light built up throughout the poem such as: shinning, twinkling, sparkling, and flashing.
“Continuous as the starsthat shine (alliteration + simile)
And twinkleon the Milky Way,”
The daffodils were compared with the stars shinning and twinkling on the galaxy, and enjoying themselves in a happy dance. By that way, the poet immortalized the daffodils. They seemed to become more beautiful in the author’s poem.
“The waves beside themdanced; but they (alliteration + comparison + personification)
Out-did the sparklingwaves in glee:”
The author compared the daffodils with the waves. Through the lake’s sparkling waves danced beautifully, the daffodils seemed to do much better than waves. That reinforced the beauty of daffodils.
The author used personification to describe beauty of nature. The waves and the daffodils danced very well and beautifully. They had action and mind like people.

    As well as the tone he uses is exactly what he wants us to see that nature has power over him. Wordsworth uses diction when he says, “lonely as a cloud” This shows the negative felling his going through. He feels lonely and very sad. His diction connotes to something unpositive his going through so this is the start of the poem that guides us through what was the purpose of his walk and that indeed he is sad. "A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company" another example of diction that has a positive connotation his heart is now filled with happiness as he is accompanied by this positive and happy people. He is even using personification because he is the daffodils human characteristics that they are cheerful company like a human…

    My Papa's Waltz

    He states in the first stanza that he wanders “lonely as a cloud/That floats on high o’er vales and hills,” which, in just reading the first line, may seem a bit melancholy. However, interpreting the vision of a magnificent cloud alone in the sky puts a positive spin on the idea. Additionally, the second line serves as a reminder of that positivity. He then refers to a vast expanse of flowers as “a crowd,/a host, of golden daffodils,” suggesting that the amount of flowers is overwhelming, but in no way is it a sign that one should not venture further. On the contrary, it seems a lot more like an invitation to join in on the ‘party’ that the flowers are having. If Wordsworth had simply called it “a bunch/a group of flowers,” it would not have had nearly the same effect, because ‘group’ and ‘crowd’ have very different implications as far as size goes. He furthers the hyperbole in the second stanza by calling the flowers “Continuous as the stars that shine/And twinkle on the milky way.” For most, the number of stars in our galaxy is entirely unfathomable. Furthermore, the idea of that many things existing in just one area on our planet is almost overwhelming, and it puts a great sprightly feeling into the reader’s…

    While many people like to go through life and not pay attention to details, they wouldn’t notice the dragonfly “stand[ing] in space to take aim”(7). This shows that the author is paying close attention to detail. So far the poem started out talking about a water lily but has started to shift towards talking about a dragonfly who has caught his eye near the water lily itself. He is then talking about the vibrant colors of the dragonflies while saying “so the eyes praise to see the colours of these flies Rainbow their arcs”(12-13), this piece gives the images of florescent blue dragonflies all around. Through the mental images gained in the many different ways of describing the dragonflies there is an attitude of a very observant man who can find the fine details in a larger picture.…

    The speaker begins by introducing the water lily as a stage for the activity that goes on around it. He describes “a green level of lily leaves” that “reefs the petal’s chamber and paves the flies’ furious arena,”--a cover for the activity below and the ground for the action above. The picture establishes the speaker’s view of nature as a complex body with layers that reach beyond its seemingly inactive surface. The language used by the speaker to describe the lily leaves, marked by alliteration and subtle imagery, also demonstrates the speaker’s appreciation of the beauty of nature’s “outer surface,” the face it shows most plainly to the casual observer. The speaker also personifies nature by describing it as a “lady” with “two minds,” clearly those that exist above and below its surface. Study these, the speaker notes to himself, and only then can one develop an accurate understanding of the heart of nature.…

    His poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” tells the story about when he took a stroll by himself and found a field of daffodils. “When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.” Wordsworth is describing how he first found the daffodils, which are beside the lake. He took his time to realize their movements in the breeze. “For oft, when on my couch I lie, In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.” In the last stanza of his poem, Wordsworth describes how he feels after coming in contact with the daffodils. He states that “his heart fills with pleasure and dances with the daffodils.”…

    This poem explores the lack of appreciation humanity has for the natural world, It uses simile to create vivid imagery. An example of a quote would be ”And are gathered up like now sleeping flowers” is a simile which creates visual imagery by visualising people as sleeping flowers. Wordsworth uses this simile to show that humans do not appreciate nature as much as they used to, and that humans are blinded by their man-made world. However, the poet expresses hope as the flowers are only sleeping, not dead, and once they wake up, there might be some light again where they see the beauty of nature. Thus, this shows that people are not appreciating nature as much as they should be, and this characterises Wordsworth as a Romantic.…

    The language of the “I Wondered as a Cloud” is much more soft and respecting towards the nature. William Wordsworth doesn’t use “my” at all in his poem, because his poem is not so egoistic. It is not a surprise that that this poem’s other title is The Daffodils. The poet shows his great respect towards nature and he uses a rhythmic style that helps him to get our…
