"I wandered lonely as a cloud"

In the poem, "I wandered lonely as a cloud", William Wordsworth uses connotative language. In line 3, the word "crowd" is used to describe a large collection of daffodils. The denotation of "crowd" would more commonly be a collection of people that have no relation to one another. In line 6, the daffodils are said to be "Fluttering and dancing in the breeze." The word "dancing" is usually saved for the activity performed by people. Wordsworth uses words such as "crowd" and "dancing" to personify the daffodils. In line 18, the word "wealth" is used to describe the collection of visuals obtained by the narrator. The denotation of "wealth" would be more of monetary gains. Wordsworth's writing style in this poem also uses rhyme at the end of several of the lines of the poem. Wordsworth also uses many words that give the reader a visual imagery of the poem. Words such as golden, shine, twinkle, ten thousand, and sparkling give the reader a good visual picture. Throughout the poem, starting with the title itself, I noticed the alliteration of the "l" sound in nearly every line and often more than once in the same line.
