And how is that view shown in this poem?Wordsworth’s conception of nature is that nature has a lot to do with man, it can not only refresh one’s soul and fill one with happiness, but it can also be reduced into a beautiful memory which will comfort one’s heart when in solitude.In the narrative poem, the poet successfully compared his loneliness with the happy daffodils. The daffodils, the symbol of the nature, bring great joy and relief to the speaker. The diction of this poem is, in general, simple, direct, and clear. The image of the daffodils conveys qualities of movement and radiance through carefully chosen words. At first sight, the flowers are seen as “fluttering and dancing”; then the poet compares the flowers to the “stars that shine and twinkle on the milky way”, and then to the “sparkling waves” of a nearby lake. The daffodils are described as “golden”, not yellow, because “golden” suggests more than a color; it connotes light. These words of movement and radiance create a picture of nature as vital, animated, and glowing. Words for joy (glee, sprightly, gay, jocund, bliss) are used in a crescendo that suggests the intensity of the speaker’s happiness.3.when we two parted《昔日依依别》虽是一首抒情诗，但是却有着很强的画面感，这首诗明显是由三个叙述画面组成的：1. 往昔的分别场景2. 今日人群之中的回忆3. 多年后的重逢画面三个叙述画面分别从不同层次与深度逐渐展露出了诗中人的复杂、痛苦的情感体验. “in silence and tears”使得全诗前后照应，巧妙地将过去、现在和将来联系在了一起，强调了时空的永恒，痛苦的情伤的永恒性。
