The author continues to explain the peaceful setting he has suddenly arrived in by using another personification. He describes that there is an abundance of these daffodils, and he wants the reader to think about this setting more specifically. Lakes and trees are explained to be apart of this nature the author is in. The personification is used when he states that ten thousand daffodils are “dancing” in the breeze. This makes the setting seem even more peaceful, but in this peaceful setting, there could be one outlying factor that doesn’t seem as joyful as this place seem, that factor being the poet.

When being the lonely cloud (William) he passes by the crowd which are the flowers that are bright and yellow are currently near a lake and some tree’s they are being hit with a breeze which means that the flowers are probably going back and fourth in the poem its referring that he saw the crowd dancing with happiness and joy.

William Wordsworth takes advantage of the literary device so commonly used in poetry called, personification. He uses it to explain how all the people are dancing and having fun all around the lake. If we were to look at this line without trying to find a double or hidden meaning we would simply see and field of daffodils surrounding the lake and under the trees moving freely and gracefully as a result of the wind coming from the water.

Although he feels like an outcast, being a lonely cloud amongst so many flowers dancing in solidarity, the same thing that moves those flowers and the cloud is the breeze. They share that same energy in their nature.

This personification of the dancing daffodils by thousand contrasts with the first line and main idea of the poem beautifully. The loneliness that Wordsworth expresses with the imagery of the lone, wandering cloud that floats above the hoards of daffodils creates such a deep feeling of loneliness. Even the word choice of verbs adds to this melancholy contrast. Dancing is something that people do in groups, usually in celebration of something together. Wandering is usually reserved for a lone individual with nowhere to go and nothing to do but look within themselves.

The author is suggesting that the flowers are dancing in the breeze giving them more human traits. The author uses great techniques to let the reader get a great image in their head of what he is describing.

It’s very important in this stanza that none of the rebels are named. We might overlook this in our eagerness to recognise the specific historical figures alluded to. But Yeats delays the use of names until the poem’s famous concluding litany. This adds to the sense of building momentum, given another nudge by ‘our part To murmur name upon name’ later, where he still doesn’t name them!

Naming is so significant because these people have been transformed–‘changed, changed utterly’–from the individuals with their private troubles, interests and peculiarities, into national heroes. Their names are no longer simply theirs, but are absorbed into a national story. (Compare September 1913, a sister poem in this and other respects.)
