I wandered lonely as a cloud (by Wordsworth)

A joyful company

Having read the poem, it strikes me that these daffodils represent one of the means which nature uses to convey its majesty to the poet. In addition, I think that the daffodils keep the poet company because of his loneliness. In this sense, I think there is an accomplice relationship among them because nature accompanies and pleases him with its dancing movements.

Thus, it is also a pleasure for the readers to read this poem because it exactly portrays what most of the time we feel whence we contemplate nature. Nature makes our solitude something pleasant and really inspiring.

When the poet says: “A poet could not but be gay, in such a jocund company", he
is expressing gratitude and happiness towards nature company. He clearly enjoys the landscape and states how nature certainly renders calm and satisfaction.

Wordsworth is completely different to Keats that's true. Great ideas, now, would you use this poem in one of your future classes? Why?

take care,
