I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
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.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed – and gazed – but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Het boek - onderwerp
IS HET BOEK VOOR JOU INTERESSANT?
‘The Poems’ is een verzameling van alle tot nu toe bekende gedichten die de Engelse dichter William Wordsworth schreef. Het waren gelegenheidsgedichten bij een formele gelegenheid: een geboorte, huwelijk, overlijden. Maar er waren ook vooral gedichten over thema’s die de dichter interesseerden: de natuur, de liefde, de stad en – vooral – het platteland.
WAT MOET JE WETEN?
William Wordsworth schreef in zijn lange leven ongelooflijk veel gedichten (soms dagelijks). Die gedichten – hier verzameld in ‘The Poems’ – werden overal gepubliceerd: in bundels, in tijdschriften en kranten, op gedenkplaatsen, enzovoort. Wordsworth was in zijn tijd hoogstwaarschijnlijk de populairste dichter van zijn tijd. En dat komt vooral omdat de gedichten zeer toegankelijk zijn: nog altijd, ook al werden ze meestal vóór 1850 geschreven …

Het boek - Moeilijkheid
DE TAAL
De taal van ‘The Poems’ is meestal goed te begrijpen. Wordsworth gebruikt wel poëtische taal, maar hij verzandt nergens in onbegrijpelijke uitweidingen.
De gedichten rijmen vrijwel allemaal en ze hebben een strak en heel toegankelijk metrum. De gedichten zijn zo goed gemaakt dat Engelse leerlingen ze – tot op de dag van vandaag – op school moe(s)ten leren (declameren).
DE TAAL EN HET VERHAAL
Qua taal is de bundel zeker toegankelijk.
Dat geldt zeker ook voor de gedichten zelf. Vooral de verhalende gedichten en kortere sonnetten zijn heel begrijpelijk. Pas wanneer Wordsworth teksten van meer dan drie pagina’s schrijft worden de ‘verhalen’ lastiger om te volgen.
Op basis van deze eigenschappen is ‘The Poems’ een boek met een literair niveau C 5a en een taal-(ERK-)niveau C1.
Schrijfstijl:
De gedichten zijn toegankelijk, begrijpelijk en ze geven een heel mooi beeld van de tijd van dichter (1800-1850) en van de plaatsen waar hij woonde (met name het Lake District in Noordwest Engeland) of die hij bezocht (Schotland, Wales, Duitsland, Italië, Frankrijk).

Citaat:
My Heart Leaps Up When I BeholdMy heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
