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: 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: part of “The Daffodils” by Wordsworth
B- Impersonal Depicting others' feelings or sufferings Describing situations objectively The writer stays in the background
All human things are subject to decay, And, when Fate summons, monarchs must obey: This Flecknoe found, who, like Augustus, young Was call'd to empire, and had govern'd long: In prose and verse, was own'd, without dispute Through all the realms of Non-sense, absolute. This aged prince now flourishing in peace, And blest with issue of a large increase, Worn out with business, did at length debate To settle the succession of the State: part of “Mac Flecknoe” by Dryden

Reasons why impersonality is important in poetry • *It makes for greater impartiality and neutrality which consequently leads to truthfulness and • honesty • *It represents a point of view that’s not the writer’s one . • *The work isn’t apt to be monotonous, one-sided and prejudiced
