Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The poet saw ten thousand daffodils at a glance.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: Ten thousand saw I at a glance. This is a fine instance of Hyperbole. A hyperbole is an exaggeration not meant to be taken literally. When the poet says that he saw ten thousand daffodils at a glance, he certainly means a lot of flower, a host of daffodils, and not ‘ten thousand’ literally.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
Detailed explanation-4: -By “ten thousand, ” he meant a collection of daffodils were fluttering in the air, spellbinding the poet at the beauty of the scene. It’s just a wild estimation at best as he supposes ten thousand daffodils at a glance.
Detailed explanation-5: -In the poem “Daffodils” penned by William Wordsworth, he saw “daffodils when he was walking” with his “sister Dorothy around Glencoyne Bay", Ullswater, in the Lake District on 15 April, 1802.
