Talk:I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I may be wrong, but I think the title of the poem is Daffodils. Can anyone confirm either way? Deb 17:23, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- I thought so too; first hit from Google for "daffodils" is another copy of the poem on the same website referenced for the text, and the second is yet another.
- However the "Wordsworth Trust" refers to it as "I wandered lonely as a cloud, so my best guess is that the editors of those 2 anthologies chose to change the name. Hv 14:30, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
i wandered lonley as a cloud is the name
If so, shouldn't the Wikisource link be called by the same name?--84.12.21.104 22:16, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clouds -vs- Cows
Is there a source for the claim that Wordsworth's first choice of words was "lonely as a cow"?
And...the last paragraph states "The effect that the song had on the poet..." What song, exactly? Joyous | Talk 16:58, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, there was some sort of confusion. What I meant was The effect that the daffodils had on the poet is similar to the effect of the maiden's song in The Solitary Reaper... It sort of got transformed into gibberish on the way. I've corrected it now. Thanks for bringing that up.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 12:59, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

- Yes, as well as non-encyclopedic (Wikipedia should only report literary criticism, not create it). I'll remove it. Junes 19:09, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
