I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

that an individual’s viewpoint on the natural world depends on their own experiences with naturalism. Wordsworth sustains an optimistic tone within the compilation of his poems he has written. Two primary examples of his poetry would be: “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” and “The World Is Too Much with Us.” In these two poems, he briefly discusses how comforting parts of nature are as well as how he feels less alone when in the midst of the natural world. He further…

dances with the daffodils,” (I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, William Wordsworth). Wordsworth creates a tone of sadness but shifts it to a more joyful atmosphere, but as he does he uses author’s diction to draw the reader in, because of this he starts the stanza off with loneliness to a blissful ending from the memory of the flower encounter. Unlike Muir, Wordsworth had rhythm and syntax throughout his poem; he says, “They stretched in never-ending line; Ten thousand saw I at a glance, tossing…

The poem starts off on a melancholic tone; the opening sentence being ‘I wondered lonely as a cloud’. Instantly readers get the mental image of the lonely romantic, outside the rest of humanity as a cloud floats above the landscape. The tone of the poem shifts dramatically once Wordsworth comes across the daffodils. The daffodils bring him an overwhelming joy, and this remains the dominant…

Being alone in nature is the best thing to help a person be happy and find him or herself. That is the message both Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and Emily Dickinson's How Happy is the Little Stone. In the How Happy is the Little Stone, the poem starts out with “How Happy is the little Stone That rambles on the Road alone,” this shows that the rock is happy because he is all alone. We know he is all alone because the poem states that “And independent as the Sun” the speaker is trying to show…

implies that the speaker is diplaying his appreciation for the beauties of nature’s light. On the other hand, in “Sleeping in the Forest,” Oliver describes natures light a little differently. For instance, the speaker touches apon her slumber, “All night I rose and fell, as if the water, grappling with a loominous doom.” The term that was mentioned of “loominous doom,” implies that speaker has a less positive, rather negative connection with light. This is because loominous means the radiance of…

This implies that he does not care what other people think. Also simply the fact that he is watching a spider build its web proves this because this is not a hobby that most people enjoy. In “The Loveliest of Trees” the author says “About the woodlands I will go to see the cherry hung with snow.” This shows that he is okay with not being interested in what other people are. He likes to look at trees, so that is what he is going to do. “A Noiseless Patient Spider” and “The Loveliest of Trees”…

from the fact that they were different from everyone else's point of view and, they saw their different subjects similarly. Thoreau saw solitude as a refreshing and wonderful thing to experience and Bryant saw death as a really wonderful thing, not lonely and sad. They also brought nature into their ideas as a companion and in some instances a divine being. Thoreau had some quiet, alone time with nature and writes that "some of my pleasantest hours were during the long rainstorms ..." and he…

Vorreyer’s poem Wallflowers first caught my attention by its title. Immediately I thought about the common usage of the term, which refers to someone who does not mingle much at social events and instead hugs the wall. They lack a presence. In fact, the poem references how the term is commonly used in the fourth stanza. Lines 11-12 say, “...Or do they wait patiently, shy shadows / at the high school dance…” However, I found the poem to be about another topic entirely. Our usage of words.…
