William Wordsworth 1770-1850

William Wordsworth was born in 1770 in the Lake District and remained attached to this area throughout his life. He went on a walking tour of Italy, the Alps, and France and lived in France for three years to support the French Revolution. He fell in love with a French woman, but later returned to England. His hopes for the French Revolution turned to disillusionment, followed by five years of depression. He recovered thanks to Coleridge and began work on the famous collection, Lyrical Ballads.

The themes of his poetry include children and childhood. His poetry is self-conscious, as the poet himself became the subject, expressing his thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Wordsworth's poems were simple and written in common language, presenting a link with the past. He believed that man should look to nature as his moral and spiritual guide, an inspiration for everyone. He saw the poet as a prophet with the role to communicate to as many people as possible in a language they would understand.

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

First Stanza: The speaker walks alone and sees a row of daffodils near a solitary cloud in the sky floating over the lake. The trees flutter as they are blown by the breeze. Second Stanza: The speaker compares the daffodils to stars in the sky because the flowers seem to go on without ending. The speaker guesses there are ten thousand or fifty daffodils, and all of their heads move as if they were dancing. Third Stanza: Near the daffodils, the waves glint on the bay, but the daffodils seem to bring more joy to the speaker than the waves. The daffodils make him happy without him knowing that.

"The Solitary Reaper"

Fourth Stanza: After the experience with the daffodils, the speaker often lies on the couch, and only the memory of that image remains. First Stanza: This stanza reveals the true image of a pastoral setting. The poet describes a beautiful picture of nature, where a Highland girl is singing and reaping in the field. She is alone, and there is no one to disturb her. This scene makes him happy. Second Stanza: The poet compares the singing of the girl with nightingales and cuckoo birds. The nightingales are renowned for their singing, especially when tired travelers take rest in the Arabian desert and enjoy the music of nightingales, but the music of the girl gives much more comfort than nightingales. Poets also compare the singing of cuckoo-birds, which sing among the songs of faraway Hebrides, but the song of the girl is more thrilling. Third Stanza: The poet tries to explain the song sung by the solitary reaper, but he is unable to comprehend the meaning of the song. The poet thinks that the song is about an unhappy incident of the past or about some familiar matter. Fourth Stanza: The poet watches her singing and using the sickle to do her work at the same time, and he stays quiet for a long time, without any kind of movement. When he climbed up the hill, he still remembered the sweet music of the girl's song. This is emotion recollected in tranquility.
