HOMEWORK: METHAPHORBy Eve DUE MONDAY

Don’t forget about Independent Reading Project or Blog Due April 11th

Rhythm & Meter

• Rhythm—repetition of sound patterns.• Rhythm is what gives poetry its musical quality.

• Meter—regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry.

• iambic tetrameter- a meter in poetry. It refers to a line consisting of four iambic feet. The word "tetrameter" simply means that there are four feet in the line; iambic tetrameter is a line comprising four iambs.

• da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’er vales and hills

˘ ′ ˘ ˘ ˘′ ′ ′˘ ′ ˘ ˘ ˘′ ′ ′

I wandered, lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o’er vales and hillsWhen, all at once, I saw a crowdA host of golden daffodis.Beside the lake, beneath the trees…

This is an example of iambic tetrameter which consists of four iambic feet or iambic beats in each line. These metrical feet give a regular rhythm to the poem due to consistent patterns of accented and unaccented beats

Form: • Each stanza has 6

lines, is written in iambic tetrameter

• (four iambic feet per line:• taDUM taDUM

taDUM taDUM), • rhyme scheme

• ABABCC; • Form:"sixain"

(six lines to a stanza),

• was first developed by Shakespeare in "Venus and Adonis"

• used by Wordsworth in this poem, written in 1804. 

METONYMY

• An item is replaced by something closely associated with it:EXAMPLES: The CROWN is used in the place of THE MONARCHY / Turf for Horse-racing / The Law for the Police.

Symbols• The Daffodils• In "I wandered lonely as a Cloud," the daffodils are like little yellow people who keep the

speaker company when he is feeling lonely. • The happiness of the daffodils can always cheer him up, and he can tell that they are

happy because they dance. • Some variation of the word "dance" occurs in each of the four stanzas. Also, the speaker

is taken aback by how many daffodils there are. – Lines 3-4: The daffodils are personified as a crowd of people. This personification will continue

throughout the poem.– Lines 6: Daffodils cannot actually "dance," so Wordsworth is ascribing to them an action that is

associated with people.– Line 9: The speaker says that the line of daffodils is "never-ending," but we know this can’t be

strictly true: all good things come to an end. This is an example of hyperbole, or exaggeration.– Lines 12: The personification of the daffodils becomes more specific. The "heads" of the

daffodils are the part of the flower with the petals. It is larger and heavier than the stem, and so it bobs in a breeze. (When you think about it, it’s kind of amazing how flowers support themselves at all.)

– Lines 13-14: The waves also get in on some of the dancing (andpersonification) action, but the daffodils are not to be out-done – they are happier than the waves.

– Lines 21-24: Wordsworth imagines the daffodils in his spiritual vision, for which he uses the metaphor of an "inward eye." His heart dances like a person, too.

Clouds, Sky, and Heavens

• "I wandered lonely as a Cloud" has the remote, otherworldly atmosphere that is suggested by the title. The speaker feels like a cloud, distant and separated from the world below. But this distance becomes a good thing when he comes upon the daffodils, which are like little stars. It’s as if the problem at the beginning is that he hasn’t ascended high enough.

• Lines 1-2: The beginning of the poem makes a simile between the speaker’s wandering and the "lonely" distant movements of a single cloud. Clouds can’t be lonely, so we have another example of personification.

• Lines 7-8: The second stanza begins with a simile comparing the shape and number of the daffodils to the band of stars that we call the Milky Way galaxy.

Questions1. Line 3 introduces the personification of the

daffodils. Find at least three human qualities or activities that the speaker attributes to them.

2. Name the ways in which the daffodils and their behavior contrast with the speaker’s mood. How does the encounter change the speaker’s mood?

3. What do you think the speaker means by “that inward eye” (line 21) – is he referring to memory OR imagination? In either case, how might the “inward eye” be the “bliss of solitude?”
