Abstract

As a great Romantic poet, Wordsworth has successfully written down lots of poems about nature, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud included. Wordsworth well depicts a picture about the contrast between the depression of the wanderer “I” and the glee of the daffodils in groups in it. It is quite clear that the limit between them fades away gradually. At last, they even mix together and become a whole unity. However, no matter which state they are in, the sense of being lonely stands out more than the happiness of the group and its beauty is shown now and then. When they are clearly separated initially, they are independent but they are also part of the whole, the contrast between them shows the beauty of being lonely led by matched nature and dynamic actions. Later on, they are mixed together and there’s the harmony and comfort caused by their combination, which shows the higher level aesthetic beauty of being lonely that can only be got but not seen.
