In Wandering Lonely As a Cloud by William Wordsworth the speaker is talking about a time when he felt lonely and dejected and was walking aimlessly. Then the speaker encounters daffodils and feels comforted by the sight, but not realizing the depth of the experience until later. Daffodils therefore serve as comfort during moments of emptiness or boredom. The purpose of this poem is to highlight the importance of preserving memories. In the beginning there is that initial moment where you are overflowed with emotion and joy, however, in the long term, the true and significant value of the experience is the fact that it can be remembered and revisited. The speaker's initial emotion and his/her general mood is presented. It shows the importance of that moment and why it is a memory the speaker will remember at a later time. The speaker “wandered lonely like a cloud” (1). Wandering is moving in a pleasant way. This is a time when the speaker feels random and aimless. At that moment there are no external interferences, worries or stress, but only the speaker and nature in harmony. This kind of moment is not consistent for the speaker, so he finds it special. Next, the speaker must return to the confusion of the everyday world. It is a moment and therefore cannot be lived for long. Furthermore, the clouds are above and detached from the world below. In this sense, the speaker distances himself from the world in a euphoric and dreamy way. So, just as a cloud is detached from humanity, so is the speaker, if only momentarily. Then, the speaker states, “suddenly I saw a crowd,/ a host of golden daffodils” (3-4). This illustrates the suddenness of the moment and how the beauty of the daf... in the center of the card... joins the dance. Overall, the purpose of the poem is to emphasize the significance of containing memories and that their importance lies in future remembrance. Such a small experience would lose all its value if it were experienced only in that moment. Every little detail is analyzed and imagination makes the experience as grand as the speaker wants it to be. So, once an ideal vision is complete, the mind, or rather, the heart, contains it and whenever similar emotions are felt, this vision revives in the mind of the speaker. This poem makes the reader wonder if the experience of the moment is important or the fact that it can be used for countless times to come. It replaces the seize-the-moment mentality with more weight on imagination and recaptured emotions. In other words, he wants readers to see the beauty of preserved emotions.
