Question

What does the “inward eye” refer to in the poem ‘Daffodils’? How does it affect
the poet?

Answer 1

The 'inward eye' is that of memory, on which the scene has been imprinted in such a way that it flashes to life when the poet is in a 'vacant' or 'pensive' mood. ... When the daffodils flash into the poet's 'inward eye', then his heart fills with pleasure.
