Hello Readers,
This blog is all about my favorite Poet and his wonderful and most famous poem. Poet is major English Romantic poet Wordsworth. As we all know that he is the most famous poet and his most of poem is about Nature, So we can say that he loved nature and natural things. William Wordsworth was born at Cocker-mouth, a town which is actually outside the lake district, but well with in hail of it.
At the University he composed some poetry which appeared as "An Evening Walk" (1793) and "Descriptive Sketches" (1793) . In style these poems have little originality. Wordsworth and Coleridge launch their joint publication " Lyrical Ballad" (1798). His other works are,
* " Prelude "
* " Daffodils "
* " The Solitary reaper "
* " The green linnet "
* " Resolution and Independence "
* " Ode to Duty "
These all works are very famous and popular in it's own way. My one of the favorite poem is "Daffodils." This simple poem, one of the loveliest and most famous in the Wordsworth canon, revisits the familiar subjects of nature and memory. The plot of this poem is very simple, depicting the poet's wandering and his discovery of a field of daffodils by a lake, the memory of which pleases him and comforts him when he is lonely, bored or restless.
The speaker is metaphorically compared to a natural object, a cloud- " I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high..." and the daffodils are continually personified as human beings, dancing and " tossing their heads " in " a crowd, a host."
" DAFFODILS"
1st stanza :
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats an high o'er vales and hills'
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.
In this first the speaker describes a time when he meandered over the valleys and hills," lonely as a cloud." Finally, he came across a crowd of daffodils stretching out over almost everything he could see, " fluttering and dancing in the breeze."
2nd stanza :
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
In second stanza the speaker goes into more detail about the daffodils. They reminded him to the Milky Way, because there were so many flowers packed together that they seemed to be never ending. The speaker guesses that there were ten thousands daffodils, which were " Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
3rd stanza :
The waves beside them danced;but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay;
In such a jocund company:
I gazed- and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
In third stanza the speaker compares the waves of the lake to the waves of the daffodils and decides that even thought the lake is "sparkling" the daffodils win because they have more "glee." He then comments that he, like any other poet, could not help but be happy " in such a jocund company."
4th stanza :
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure;
And dance with daffodils.
In fourth and final stanza the poet describes what he gained from the experience. Afterwards, when he was lonely or feeling "pensive", he could remember the daffodils, seeing them with his "inward eyes."
So here I am sharing my Favorite poem with you all read it and enjoy...
