Jaegyum: Hey Jaeyi, we read Wordsworth's poem "Daffodils" in class today. What did you think of it?

Jaeyi: It was nice, I guess. All that talk about flowers. It seemed a bit boring at first.

Jaegyum: But did you read the part where it says, "I wandered lonely as a cloud"? I thought that was a really interesting way to start a poem. It makes you feel like you're floating along.

Jaeyi: Yeah, I saw that. And then suddenly he sees a whole field of daffodils. The website we looked at, that study53 link, said the daffodils made him feel happy even later when he was just remembering them.

Jaegyum: Exactly! It says, "They flash upon that inward eye / Which is the bliss of solitude." So even when he's alone and maybe feeling a bit down, he can just think about the daffodils and feel happy again. It's like the memory of something beautiful stays with you.

Jaeyi: I guess I didn't really think about it that way. So the poem isn't just about seeing flowers, it's about how that feeling can stay with you and make you feel better later on?

Jaegyum: That's what I understood. The website also mentioned that Wordsworth really loved nature, and this poem shows how nature can have a powerful effect on our feelings. All those golden daffodils dancing in the breeze must have been an amazing sight.

Jaeyi: "Continuous as the stars that shine / And twinkle on the milky way," right? That's a lot of daffodils! I can see how seeing something so beautiful could cheer you up, and remembering it could make you happy too. Maybe poems aren't so boring after all.

Jaegyum: See? I told you! Wordsworth captured a really special moment and feeling in this poem. It makes you appreciate the simple beauty around you.

Jaeyi: Maybe next time we go for a walk, we can look for our own "daffodils" – something beautiful that we can remember and make us happy later.

Jaegyum: That's a great idea, Jaeyi!
