SteampunkSubmissive:

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; Beside 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: 10 Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling 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: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, 20 They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils

SteampunkSubmissive:

i need to find what he is tryiong to accomplish in each stanza

umm:

Alright. Give me a sec.

umm:

Okay from the first stanza - 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; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. The poet wandered when he came across a crowd of daffodils.

SteampunkSubmissive:

oh ok

umm:

So, for the most likely second one, what seems to take place to you? 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.

SteampunkSubmissive:

space?

umm:

Yes, but to make actual sense it would be placed as: Daffodils are like the stars on the milky way/ or galaxy.

SteampunkSubmissive:

so hes telling us about what he thought of the dafadils and how they were as pretty as space

umm:

Well, in a way.

umm:

What about third stanza? The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling 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:[/u]
