Question

What type of language is ‘ I wandered lonely as a cloud’’ ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Simile. Wordsworth uses simile in numerous stanzas to describe how the persona feels towards the sight of the daffodils. The title itself, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, uses simile to describe how the speaker compares himself to a cloud freely wandering atop the valleys and hills.

William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” is a lyric poem focusing on the poet's response to the beauty of nature. (A lyric poem presents the deep feelings and emotions of the poet rather than telling a story or presenting a witty observation.)

Explanation:

wandered lonely as a Cloud. That floats on high o'er vales and Hills, The speaker describes how he walked around and felt as lonely as a cloud. He doesn't say, "walked around," but uses the much more descriptive word "wandered." "Wandered" means roaming around without a purpose, like when you explore something.

2.There are two similes used in this poem. “I wandered lonely as a cloud.” He compares his loneliness with a single cloud. The second is used in the opening line of the second stanza, “Continues as the stars that shine.” Here Wordsworth compares the endless row of daffodils with countless stars.

Answer 2

‘I wandered lonely as a cloud’

Explanation:-

• The language of the first line is delicate and simple, establishing a sense of calm that is interrupted by the blissful joy of the sudden appearance of daffodils.

• Clouds are not generally considered to be lonely. It is more likely, the speaker is projecting his loneliness on the clouds. But that still doesn't explain the strange image, because clouds usually travel in groups

• Maybe a cloud is alone because it is so high above the rest of the world. In addition, the cloud may be lonely as it floats over a natural landscape with no people; the speaker may have thought of hills and valleys as he or she "wandered" through such a landscape.
