Detailed explanation-1: -5. “Tossing their heads in sprightly dance” is, once again, personification.
Detailed explanation-2: -The figure of speech used in the line, “tossing their heads in sprightly dance” is personification.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: The daffodils have been personified as human beings, fluttering and “tossing their heads” in a “sprightly dance”. So the literary device used here is personification. This personification affirms the instinctive harmony between man and nature.
Detailed explanation-4: -Personification means that the poet attributes human qualities to non-human things. To Wordsworth, the daffodils look like a “crowd” or a “host” of people. They cheerfully toss their “heads” (12), know how to dance, and provide good “company” (16), which is more than can be said of some individuals.
Detailed explanation-5: -Personification is also used in the 6 line “Fluttering and dancing in the breeze”-here as the daffodils are said to be dancing in the breeze, they referred to as a person. The poet personified daffodils are dancing as a man.
