Daffodils
Poem “Daffodils” written by the famous
poet “William Wordsworth”. The poem first published in 1807, in a two volumes
and revised version was published in
1815. The poem was inspired by an event on 15th April 1802 in which Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy came
across a “Long Belt” of Daffodils . The Poem is commonly seen as a classic of
English Romantic Poetry, although poems, in Two Volume in which it first
appeared, was poorly reviewed by Wordsworth’s contemporaries.
In this poem
the most famous line is,
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
This line is poems first line. The poem is
very well known poem. This poem is best loved poem in English Language. In this
poem we see a personification. In the first line considered the poem’s mood. In
The first stanza. The poem written in
Four Stanza in every Stanza the Four line. The poem follow the Wordsworth’s
definition of “ THE SPONTANEOUS OVERFLOW OF POWERFUL FILLINGS: IT
TAKES ITS ORIGIN FROM EMOTION RECOLLECTED IN TRANQUILITY”.
In
the first stanza of Wordsworth’s “I wandered lonely as a cloud” the
speaker uses first person to personalize what he says and to give more depth
and meaning to his words. In the first line, the speaker uses melancholy
diction to describe how he “wandered lonely as a cloud”. He then shifts to a
euphoric tone when he describes the “host of golden daffodils”. He uses
descriptive imagery when he says that they were “fluttering and dancing in the
breeze”. The reader immediately senses that the speaker has brought him to a
Utopia. The peaceful language and the description of the beauty allow the
reader to feel carefree and at ease. In the second stanza, The he speaker
shifts his focus from the daffodils and compares them with the
“continuous…stars…that shine and twinkle on the milky way”. The speaker allows
to reader to experience the majesty of seeing “ten thousand [stars]…at a
glance”. At this point, the reader begins to sense that he is not on earth
anymore, but rather in a place full of majesty and beauty, perhaps heaven or
some other form of afterlife. Throughout the poem, rhyme and rhythm help it to
flow smoothly, giving the readers a continued sense of utopian peace. The rhyme
scheme, ab ab cc, is an integral part of bringing the reader a sense of rest
and peace. This stanza not only allows the reader to feel the sense of peace
the speaker feels, but also to feel life. This is not simply a peaceful place;
it is full of life. Figurative language and personification are used when the
daffodils are described as tossing “their heads”. This gives the readers the
feeling that this peaceful, utopian place, is also lively and spirited.
The third stanza continues the
personification describing how the waves “danced” and the daffodils “out-did
the sparkling waves in glee”. This continues to give readers a sense of peace
and joy combined with lively action. The personifications of the daffodils also
reveals their effect on the speaker as he regards them with life and attributes
to them the ability to feel “glee”. The speaker then shifts the focus back to
himself as a poet when he says, “A poet could not but be gay”. This portrays
the effect the dazzling daffodils had on the speaker. When he says, “What
wealth the show to me had brought”, it shows that the mere sight of the golden
daffodils somehow enriched his life and brought wealth to him. The use of the
word “wealth” reveals that this sense of peace and joy are worth more to the
speaker than money or other worldly wealth. This also gives the reader the idea
that some things are worth more than money and worldly goods, such as peace,
joy, and life. In the fourth stanza, the speaker shifts from a peaceful, joyful
tone to one of pensive thought. He also comes down from the cloud and reveals
the reality of his current physical state. Even though he no longer sees the
dancing waves and the golden daffodils, he reveals that he will never forget
them when he says, “they flash upon that inward eye”. The speaker reveals that
he not only still has the memory of the daffodils, but that he has also kept
the memory of how they made him feel. He reveals this when he says, “And then
my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils”. This gives the
reader the sense that the speaker has either been dreaming, or has had an
experience in which he caught a glimpse of heaven. It leaves the reader with a
yearning to find that perfect place of utopian peace.
I also make on blog on the Wordsworth’s Preface to Lyrical Ballad to see that click here Lyrical Ballad of the Wordsworth. Wordsworth
is famous and the well known writer. The poem Daffodils is wrote on the one
flower. In this poem I see the one abstract the title is Stylistic Analysis of
Daffodils by William. In that abstract they use key words; style, stylistic,
Wordsworth, loneliness, nature, faith, Phonological level, grammatical level,
graphlogical level. In one point the Scope of the study they say, this work
shall be exclusively stylistic and analysis will be conducted through the use
of the following levels of analysis: laxico-syntaqctic patterns and choice,
phonology, graphology and morphology. Other points Limitations of the study. This
poem is the well known and the one of the best work of the Wordsworth.
