  3. Romantic Age First Generation: The emphasis on • Nature and correspondence between Nature and human nature (e.g. US – Whitman, Dickinson) • Feeling (“spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling” “emotion recollected in tranquility”) • Imagination (e.g. “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”) & Vision • Common people (“London”) • Individualism, Idealism & Quest (“Tiger” vs. “Rose”)

  4. “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” • See Dorothy’s journal here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Wandered_Lonely_as_a_Cloud • How is the speaker and the daffodils set in contrast? Is the poem all set in past tense?

  5. I wandered lonely as a cloud • I wandered lonely as a cloudThat 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 asthe stars that shineAnd twinkle on the milky way,They stretched in never-ending lineAlong the margin of a bay:Ten thousand saw I at a glance,Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

  6. I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud The waves beside them danced; but theyOut-did the sparkling waves in glee:A poet could not but be gay,In such a jocund company:I gazed---and gazed---but little thoughtWhat wealth the show to me had brought:For oft, when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,They flash upon that inward eyeWhich is the bliss of solitude;And then my heart with pleasure fills,And dances with the daffodils.
