Lines 7 – 12 of Ch- Daffodils in Treasure Trove Poem

Question:– Read the following extract from the poem ‘ Daffodils ’ by William Wordsworth and answer the questions that follow:

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

Question 1. Explain with reference to context.

Answer:

Reference: These lines are taken from the poem ‘Daffodils’ written by William Wordsworth.

Context: The poem expresses Word worth’s love for nature and how he sought solace in it from the woes and worries of this world.

Explanation: There are as many daffodils as there are stars in the sky–so many they can’t be counted. He says in one glance he saw “ten thousand,” which is a large number used to express how large the bed of flowers was . They seem to be dancing in the breeze.

Question 2. What is being compared to the stars and why ?

Answer: The host of golden daffodils by the side of the lake under the tree are being compared to the stars. A milky way is a cluster of stars which shine brightly across a huge stretch of space . Similarly like the stars in the milky way the poet feels that the daffodils are not only uncountable but also they are dancing with full energy and joy in never ending line along the margin of the lake .

Question 3. How many did the poet see at a glance?

Answer: The poet saw maybe ten thousand at a glance.

Question 4. What were the daffodils doing? Which literary device is used here?

Answer: The daffodils were dancing merrily in the breeze. The poet is using personification here when he compares the movement of the daffodils in the breeze to dancing humans.
