I get this question, about I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by Wordsworth, in my literature class:
"Reread lines 3-12 of the poem. In your own words, describe the scene the speaker encounters."
So I answer with this:
"Reread lines 3-12 of the poem. In your own words, describe the scene the speaker encounters."
So I answer with this:
The daffodils, they dance in streams of gold
An ocean floral, bathed in twinkling light
A sea of radiance spread across the wold
And as I look'd upon this awesome sight
My mind was struck with wonder and delight
My heart did leap with great unbounded joy
I watch'd the flowers sway from left to right
...I saw this spectacle as but a boy.
Though now I cannot see the nárkissoi1
I gladly think upon the memory
For when I do so it my heart doth cloy
With pleasure, and I find that I feel free
Free from my mortal pains and sufferings
I rest my mind in peace on other things.

Wow, you really took a blowtorch to the legs of that line. After you stuffed it in an iron maiden.
Hey, are you arguing that Wordsworth had sentence structure? Are you really?
But seriously, finding rhymes in -OI is hard. I knew I shouldn't have chosen a Spenserian rhyme pattern.
