Detailed explanation-1: -As obvious as it may sound, the poem was inspired by some daffodils Wordsworth encountered on a walk with his sister, Dorothy. The now-immortalised walk took place in 1802 around lake Ullswater near Penrith in Cumbria’s Eden Valley, on the way back from Pooley Bridge to Grasmere.
Detailed explanation-2: -The poet was amazed by the number of daffodils fluttering and dancing in the breeze. He thought it fit compare them with the stars as they were countless. Besides, he might be looking at them from a distance (like a cloud looks down from the firmament). It made him think of the stars twinkling on the milky way.
Detailed explanation-3: -A lyric poem inspired by an event on 15 April 1802, when William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy came across a “long belt” of daffodils in the Lake District, where they lived at the time.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ans – The poet saw a host of golden daffodils, fluttering and dancing in the breeze beside the lake and beneath the trees.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ques 5-When does the sight of the daffodils come to the poet’s mind later in the poem? Ans-The sight of the daffodils come to the poet’s mind when he is either lonely or in a pensive mood.
