Daffodils And Miricle On St Davids Day

...that there is a number of daffodils that makes his feelings change, he is no longer lonley anymore, he emphisises the colour of the daffodils by making them out to be valuable, expensive, then really they are just yellow. Wordsworth gives a precise location of where he saw this sight, he also personifies the way the daffodils make movements, 'Fluttering and dancing in the breeze'. He gives them a human element. In verse two Wordsworth again reminds us of the vast number of daffodils. He says that they 'Stand in never ending line' which contemplates there are too many to see, they stretch further on than the eye can see. Then Wordsworth AGAIN mensions the number of daffodils, he says that at a glance, he saw ten thousand! Which gives them a powerful sence. Again, he gives them a human apperance, a personification. he says that they 'danced, tossing their heads' which obviously cant be true, as they dont have heads. he says that the waves danced and that they are sparkling, it makes they out to be special and expensive, but not as special as the daffodils.

'For oft, when on my couch i lie, in vacant or in persive mood, they flash upon the inward eye, which is the bliss of solitude.' Them lines are mainly stating that wether he is vacant in mind or not, he will allways have that sight in his eye, 'then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils.' Which means that he is so happy that when he thinks of the sight he saw, his heart starts dancing, with the daffodils. A personification.
