Write a reflection on the poem entitled “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud is a poem about the relationship between nature and human
beings: how nature can affect one’s emotion and behavior with emotion and sound. It tells the emotional
life of William Wordsworth as it reflects his alienation, memory, and healing. Alienation is a terrible
feeling of isolation that is healed by solitude or reflection. Solitude allows for floods of memories to
remind us of our reason for living. Solitude is our saving grace which is essential for reflection, a time in
which we discover things about our past that were previously unknown.

Being in a state of solitude brings many memories from our past to the stage, allowing us to
celebrate the joys of past experiences once more. Memory is an extremely powerful force that defines us
and creates our identity, thus giving us a reason to live. Through a process of solitude and reflection, the
much-needed power of healing can be achieved. Healing can be found in reflection on memories and in
the beauty of nature. Nature allows the feelings of alienation and isolation to escape our tranquil minds
and therefore rejoining us with society. Wordsworth was a poet of nature and his struggles made him
develop a deep connection with the world around him. Healing from the sufferings of the world can be
found in reflection, memories, and nature. Alienation, a terrible feeling of isolation, makes people aloof
from the world and separates us from the harshness of society. Sometimes alienation is necessary because
being separated from the pressures of the world allows for reflection which leads to solitude. Alienation
evokes loneliness and depression, leading those who suffer down a dark path most people would never
want to travel. You never know what it is like to experience feelings such as these until you are the one
suffering through a life in which you constantly feel like you have no one to save you. William
Wordsworth experienced these feelings which inspired the poem with loneliness in the title. Memories
give us something to hold on to when it seems that all hope is lost. Wordsworth used the power of
memories to gain healing and reconnect with society. He encourages us to cherish and appreciate our
memories because one day they will be all we have left. Memories bring back swells of emotion which
help us get past the dark times. There is a literary device that was used in this poem such as simile,
personification, hyperbole, alliteration, metaphor, and imagery.

Wordsworth was finally healed through the power of nature. He was finally happy and
assimilated with the daffodils, also known as society. I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud is a poem about the
power of nature and the sub-powers within our great big world. Wordsworth leaves us with the message
that time heals all, but the memories of that time are something we will hold on to forever.
