is a beautiful poem by William Wordsworth. In this poem Wordsworth describes how he feels and uses nature in doing so. This poem is very inspiring and gives one a different way to look at loneliness and depression.
The speaker, at the beginning of this poem, thinks of himself as a cloud. He tries to express his loneliness, solitude, and isolation. Clouds are lonely, fluttering anywhere in the cosmic sky.

The golden daffodils were so beautiful and eye-catching that the speaker takes his mind off of his depressing matters, and places it ...

This original sin must be emphasized by writers to depict the evil involved in it. In writing Paradise Lost, John Milton recognizes this fact and uses a variety of literary techniques to stre...

When I first read the poem, it was kind of confusing and hard to understand. It wasn't until I read it the second time that I figured out that Oliver Holmes was actually writing about a sea creature, or, at least I think that's what he's writing about. What convinces me that he's writing about a sea creature is the fact that the setting for the p...
The start of both poems are the exact opposite of each other they both ask a question but one before and one after the war. At first it was a game but lard it became a tragedy.
