I wandered lonely as a cloud Author: Wordsworth
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
< p>Besides the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
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.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Outdid the sparking 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:
p>
For oft, when on my couth 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.
I wander alone, like a cloud< /p>
Wandering on the hills and valleys,
Suddenly I saw a group of
golden daffodils blooming in spring,
in the shade of the trees Down, by the lake, dancing in the breeze.
Continuous, like stars,
gleaming in the Milky Way,
they extend along the edge of the river bend
In an endless line;
I saw ten thousand flowers at a glance,
undulating and bumping in the joyful dance.
The scales and waves of light are also dancing,
The joy of Narcissus is better than the water waves;
With such a happy companion,
< p>How can the poet not be happy and happy!I stared for a long time, but I couldn’t imagine
How much treasure this wonderful scene has given me,
Whenever I lie in bed and don’t sleep,
< p>Sometimes the mind is empty, or silently meditating,They often flash in the mind,
That is the blessing of loneliness;
So my My heart is filled with happiness, and I dance with the daffodils.
Wordsworth (William Wordsworth, 1770-1850), British Romantic poet. His poetic theory shook the dominance of British classical poetics and effectively promoted the innovation of British poetry and the development of the Romantic movement.
From September 1798 to the spring of 1799, Wordsworth and Dorothy went to Germany to stay for a while, and wrote the poems "Gathering Dried Fruit", "Luce" and the short poem "Lucy". At the same time, he began Writing a long poem "Prelude". In October 1802, Wordsworth married Mary Howard, whom he had known for many years.
During this period, Wordsworth wrote many poems on the theme of the relationship between nature and life. The central idea is that nature is the source of joy and wisdom in life. In 1803, Wordsworth traveled to Scotland and wrote "The Lonely Reaper". In 1807, he published a two-volume collection of poems. The publication of this collection of poems summarized the most vigorous 10 years of his creative life from 1797 to 1807.
