Question

Explain 'floats on high o'er vales and hills'.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The speaker says that, wandering like a cloud floating above hills and valleys, he encountered a field of daffodils beside a lake.

This simple poem, one of the loveliest and most famous of William Wordsworth, revisits the familiar subjects of nature and memory, this time with a particularly spare, musical eloquence. The plot is extremely simple, depicting the poet’s wandering and his discovery of a field of daffodils by a lake, the memory of which pleases him and comforts him when he is lonely, bored, or restless.

The speaker is metaphorically compared to a natural object, a cloud—“I wandered lonely as a cloud / That floats on high...”.This technique implies an inherent unity between man and nature, making it one of Wordsworth’s most basic and effective methods for instilling in the reader the feeling the poet so often describes himself as experiencing.
