Love of nature is an important feature of romanticism . In I wandered Lonely as a cloud, Wordsworth uses the daffodils as a symbol of nature. the Speaker, while roaming about aimlessly two years ago , saw a large number of daffodils. The flowers offered a happy sight. There was a pleasant wind. It seemed that the golden daffodils were dancing in joy. The speaker, who had a heart of a poet, was influenced by the joy. His heart started sharing the joyous movement of the flowers. He kept on looking at the beauty of the lively daffodils for a long time, not only to feed his eyes but also to feed his heart that responded positively.
