DAFFODILS: ANALISI E COMMENTO DELLA POESIA DI WORDSWORTH

Daffodils.

Daffodils is a poem written in 1804 and published in 1807 by Wordsworth. This is a poem that discloses the relationship between nature and human beings: how nature can affect one’s emotion and behaviour with its motion and sound. The first few lines of the poem portrays the speaker’s initial emotion.
“I wandered lonely as a cloud, that floats on high o’er vales and hills,” the speaker is described as a “cloud,” lonely, aimless, and cruising quickly and lightly through “vales” and “hills.” A vision of the daffodils moved him to a state of being connected to something, as the poet wrote, “When all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils.” The concord and harmony of the “dancing daffodils” replaced his feeling of loneliness; he is no longer a “lonely cloud.” Imagery is the essence of all forms of poetry.

DAFFODILS: ANALISI

This is a poem rich in visual imagery used to convey his appreciation of nature. Right from the beginning the speaker metaphorically compares himself to the clouds, creating a sense of isolation from the rest of the world. Using the colour reference in “host of golden daffodils” enables Wordsworth to alter the mood of the poem to a more a cheerful one. These features make the poem lively and more active and by being personified as human beings it contrasts to the emotion.
