Description: “Daffodils” William Wordsworth Art Print by Susan Loy Literary Calligraphy Unknown Binding Product Details Susan Loy surrounds a stand of yellow daffodils with Wordsworth's poem in green that begins, "I wandered lonely as a cloud..." written about 1807. The lovely and cheerful quotation speaks to the interconnectedness of all things. The poem: "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 outdid 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." Daffodils are the flower of April in the North American flower calendar. Wild daffodils are a species of Narcissus, called pseudonarcissus, false narcissus because while all daffodils are narcissi, not all narcissi are daffodils. Also called Lent Lily and Trumpet or Common Daffodil, the wild daffodil has six pale yellow petals with a trumpet or corona in a different shade and is exceedingly variable in size, shape and color. In the Victorian language of flowers daffodil means chivalry or regard. Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud" or "Daffodils" was probably written between 1804 and 1807, when it was first published. The second stanza was added in 1815. Signed prints produced from the original watercolor. Image size: 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" Paper size: 8" x 8" Read more
