But 14 00:01:19,060 --> 00:01:22,580 if I find difficult to, you know, interfere today, 15 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,540 I might like in a follow-up class give my own 16 00:01:26,540 --> 00:01:31,550 class, okay? So this is what we are going to do 17 00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:38,110 today. Let's see, you know, who's going to report. 18 00:01:40,770 --> 00:01:45,890 Yes, please. The lady there. Yes.

Say good morning. Good morning. It's 22 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,300 Monday, nine o'clock, when Dr. Habib came to the 23 00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:07,100 lecture and began with us the lecture. As usual, 24 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,140 we began with two reports. Then Dr. Habib began 25 00:02:10,140 --> 00:02:14,260 the new born residuals with a single explanation 26 00:02:14,260 --> 00:02:20,700 about romanticism, and he let Ms. Ahlam complete 27 00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:23,740 the explanation about this movement of 28 00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:29,390 romanticism. At that time, she told us about 29 00:02:29,390 --> 00:02:32,970 William, the poet, and his relationship between 30 00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:36,890 him and nature, and how he was in love with 31 00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:39,910 nature. Next lecture, we will continue on this 32 00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:42,970 one. By the way, Ms. Ahlam came to the advanced 33 00:02:42,970 --> 00:02:48,110 writing lecture and attended with us, and all of 34 00:02:48,110 --> 00:02:51,250 the girls were happy for that surprise. Yes, okay, 35 00:02:51,390 --> 00:02:56,170 thank you very much. Still there is a place for a 36 00:02:56,170 --> 00:03:02,310 space for another report. Today I'm like choosing, 37 00:03:02,650 --> 00:03:06,630 you know. Yes, you. 38 00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:25,560 Good morning. Dr. Akram come at nine o'clock. He 39 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,420 began the lecture as usual. He chose some students 40 00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:31,000 to read their report, and he began the 41 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,700 explanation. He introduced the new born, which is 42 00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:37,020 daffodil. Mrs. Ahlam will share, Dr. Habib, in his 43 00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:40,500 explanation. She began the lecture. She welcomed 44 00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:43,920 the student. Then she began the explanation by 45 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,860 introducing what is potry. By introducing what is 46 00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:51,190 potry. Then, yes, who is the poet? And then it 47 00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:54,510 began to explanation the definition of the 48 00:03:54,510 --> 00:04:00,510 romanticism and the elements of romantic period. 49 00:04:01,010 --> 00:04:04,330 Finally, I liked Mrs. Ahlam way in presenting this 50 00:04:04,330 --> 00:04:07,590 information in a simple way. Very good. So thank 51 00:04:07,590 --> 00:04:11,670 you very much. Yes, last time we had a wonderful 52 00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:16,450 introduction about you know, romanticism. And it 53 00:04:16,450 --> 00:04:20,130 was like completing the image we started in 54 00:04:20,130 --> 00:04:25,630 William Blake. Today, I think, you know, Like with 55 00:04:25,630 --> 00:04:27,730 the daffodils, we might have a better 56 00:04:27,730 --> 00:04:31,490 understanding of the abstract things like, because 57 00:04:31,490 --> 00:04:34,530 last time, we talked about abstract things, you 58 00:04:34,530 --> 00:04:37,390 know, like the relation between man and nature, 59 00:04:38,030 --> 00:04:40,330 you know, poetry, the spontaneous overflow, 60 00:04:40,570 --> 00:04:44,110 powerful feelings. You know, we talk about that in 61 00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:46,710 a very abstract way. So today, we are going to see 62 00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:50,590 this hopefully in the poem. But before we start, 63 00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:54,170 like the poem, looking at the poem, I want like, 64 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,240 you to tell me, what do you think of the poem? Who 65 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,980 wrote a response to the poem? Yes, please. Just 66 00:05:02,980 --> 00:05:05,380 this is a written response, then I'll ask, I'll be 67 00:05:05,380 --> 00:05:08,560 asking, you know, you about your oral response. 68 00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:12,690 How are you? Good morning, everybody. The Devils 69 00:05:12,690 --> 00:05:17,710 is one of the most famous poems written by William 70 00:05:17,710 --> 00:05:22,010 Wordsworth, who is a major English romantic poet 71 00:05:22,010 --> 00:05:24,370 and helped to launch the Romantic Age in English 72 00:05:24,370 --> 00:05:27,050 literature. The Devils, how beautiful the title 73 00:05:27,050 --> 00:05:30,430 is. Everyone will like the poem because it is 74 00:05:30,430 --> 00:05:33,610 written brilliantly and it really paints a picture 75 00:05:33,610 --> 00:05:36,790 in the reader's mind. Also, it's easy to read, and 76 00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:39,870 some people might even consider it relaxing. The 77 00:05:39,870 --> 00:05:41,790 poem clearly describes the appearance of the 78 00:05:41,790 --> 00:05:46,010 daffodils and that what's worth encountered in a 79 00:05:46,010 --> 00:05:49,990 stormy day when he walking by his water in England 80 00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:52,770 and especially focusing on the way that the 81 00:05:52,770 --> 00:05:56,110 daffodils look, dancing, and if they are in a 82 00:05:56,110 --> 00:05:58,510 breeze day. The poem reflects the inherent 83 00:05:58,510 --> 00:06:01,150 connection between the man and the nature, which 84 00:06:01,150 --> 00:06:04,640 is so commonly found in William's poetry. The 85 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,760 video discloses the relationship between nature 86 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,400 and human beings, how nature can affect one 87 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,100 emotion and behavior with its emotion and sound. 88 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,680 From the very beginning, the speaker 89 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,780 metaphorically compares himself to the cloud, 90 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,000 creating a sense of isolation from the rest of the 91 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,890 world. He compares between the lonesome feeling of 92 00:06:26,890 --> 00:06:30,650 the speaker with his happy memories or even 93 00:06:30,650 --> 00:06:33,950 experiences with nature. This shows that looking 94 00:06:33,950 --> 00:06:36,110 at the daffodils makes the speaker feel better. 95 00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:39,050 This is indicated by the last line of the poem. 96 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,520 The theme of the poem might be about enjoining the 97 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,860 nature and its elements, or the collection of 98 00:06:44,860 --> 00:06:47,600 human emotions inspired by nature. The poem is 99 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,040 rich of the visual images that used to convey his 100 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,920 appreciation of nature. Talking about figurative 101 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,800 speech, the poem is full of the similes, the 102 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,700 metaphors, and persification. And it also consists 103 00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:04,710 of four stanzas which have got six lines. Okay, 104 00:07:04,770 --> 00:07:07,090 thank you. This is very advanced response. I like 105 00:07:07,090 --> 00:07:11,890 it very much. It's a good response. It seems like 106 00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:16,490 she paid or she exerted tremendous efforts in 107 00:07:16,490 --> 00:07:20,610 reading the poem and writing her response. Good, 108 00:07:20,650 --> 00:07:23,250 what do you think? Do you like the poem? You don't 109 00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:25,850 like it? Is it a good poem? What do you think? 110 00:07:25,930 --> 00:07:30,050 Yes. Exactly, I like the poem because it talks 111 00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:30,390 about 112 00:07:39,030 --> 00:07:41,250 about the beauty of nature as a source of 113 00:07:41,250 --> 00:07:45,730 inspiration and we find that the poet in the first 114 00:07:45,730 --> 00:07:50,290 stanza is having a pessimistic point of view and 115 00:07:50,290 --> 00:07:53,510 he suffers from sadness and grief but in the other 116 00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:58,010 one or in the other or in the last stanza he has 117 00:07:58,010 --> 00:08:00,690 an opposite point of view which is optimistic, he 118 00:08:00,690 --> 00:08:04,880 becomes optimistic Yes, so they want to say like 119 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,420 there is a movement. He started by being lonely 120 00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:10,960 and then he ended by dancing with the daffodils. 121 00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:16,140 So it is very important to know what happened and 122 00:08:16,140 --> 00:08:20,480 how his mood changed. It's very important. What 123 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,820 made his mood change? Was it like because he saw 124 00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:26,820 the daffodils and because the daffodils were 125 00:08:26,820 --> 00:08:29,720 dancing? Or was it beyond this? Because this is 126 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,140 very important. You know, I'm a little bit, you 127 00:08:34,140 --> 00:08:42,590 know, I mean, Concerning the pathetic fallacy, I'm 128 00:08:42,590 --> 00:08:46,070 a little bit reserved about nature being 129 00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:48,990 sympathetic with man, mainly in this poem. It is 130 00:08:48,990 --> 00:08:52,830 more than this. We'll discover that it is not a 131 00:08:52,830 --> 00:08:57,570 pathetic fallacy. It is not a pathetic fallacy or 132 00:08:57,570 --> 00:09:02,550 nature sympathizing with man. It is more than 133 00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:03,810 this. Okay? 134 00:09:09,180 --> 00:09:13,340 Yes, you were talking. Okay. Yes. Thank you. 135 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:30,480 So you 136 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:36,710 think The inward eye was the most important thing. 137 00:09:36,950 --> 00:09:45,350 The inward eye was perhaps the strong visionary 138 00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:50,350 tool which made the poet see something different 139 00:09:50,350 --> 00:09:57,300 from the common man. Okay, good. What else? Yes, 140 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,180 Jahan? As we all know, the daffodils is like a 141 00:10:00,180 --> 00:10:02,940 manifestation of the romantic period, because we 142 00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:06,160 took Blake, and Blake was sort of like the pre 143 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,860 -romantic, and it wasn't kind of like manifested 144 00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:15,820 in a very clear way. His speculations in his 145 00:10:15,820 --> 00:10:19,340 writings were still a bit vague in terms of being 146 00:10:19,340 --> 00:10:21,980 romantic or not. So you want to say like here... 147 00:10:21,980 --> 00:10:24,500 With daffodils, we see Wordsworth is actually 148 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,600 Drawing the lines and it's actually making it 149 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,220 clear for what is romanticism the the the the 150 00:10:32,810 --> 00:10:36,090 themes of romanticism, nature, and also poetry, 151 00:10:36,410 --> 00:10:38,970 and tranquility, and solitude, and all these 152 00:10:38,970 --> 00:10:41,230 things. We can see them very clearly in the 153 00:10:41,230 --> 00:10:45,390 Daffodil. Yeah, we can see the characteristics of 154 00:10:45,390 --> 00:10:51,590 romanticism very clear in this poem. Not like 155 00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:55,410 Blake, they were latent, they were hidden. Here we 156 00:10:55,410 --> 00:11:00,950 can see them clearly. Yes? What do you think? They 157 00:11:00,950 --> 00:11:05,230 are the ladies at the back? Do you like the poem? 158 00:11:06,490 --> 00:11:10,810 Were you happy when you read it? Yes? 159 00:11:18,250 --> 00:11:26,910 Has anybody 160 00:11:26,910 --> 00:11:33,530 paid attention to the tenses? Like the tense, I 161 00:11:33,530 --> 00:11:37,630 wandered alone as a cloud, and then it ended with 162 00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:41,710 my heart dances with the daffodils. Has anybody 163 00:11:41,710 --> 00:11:45,430 compared, you know, like the first stanza with the 164 00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:51,530 last stanza? Have you? Have you? Actually, I think 165 00:11:51,530 --> 00:11:54,330 in the first stanza he used the boss tense when he 166 00:11:54,330 --> 00:11:59,450 was pessimistic and very sad. But in the last 167 00:11:59,450 --> 00:12:03,990 stanza, he begins dancing with the daffodils. That 168 00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:07,730 means the beautiful nature, the beauty of nature 169 00:12:07,730 --> 00:12:13,410 changed him from the pessimistic mood to the 170 00:12:13,410 --> 00:12:17,690 optimistic mood. Okay, I know you are going to 171 00:12:17,690 --> 00:12:20,470 answer this. First of all, when he's talking about 172 00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:24,650 the past tense, he's talking about his previous 173 00:12:24,650 --> 00:12:27,950 experience when he was working beneath the 174 00:12:27,950 --> 00:12:30,350 daffodils, beneath the fields of daffodils. Then 175 00:12:30,350 --> 00:12:33,870 after that, when he's talking with the present 176 00:12:33,870 --> 00:12:38,090 tense, he's talking about his recollecting of that 177 00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:41,250 experience while he was writing his poem. So that 178 00:12:41,250 --> 00:12:44,980 suits the tenses in the poem. I don't know, like 179 00:12:44,980 --> 00:12:47,400 the present simpletons is very important, like for 180 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,760 the romantics, you know? If you remember, like, 181 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,420 yeah, yeah, it has to do with permanence, even the 182 00:12:56,420 --> 00:12:58,740 Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which is a story is 183 00:12:58,740 --> 00:13:02,240 told in the present simpletons. So the present 184 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:08,100 simpletons is a key element in romanticism. You 185 00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:12,640 have to look at that. Good. Any other response? 186 00:13:15,370 --> 00:13:21,610 Okay, we don't want like, yes? No, pardon? To the 187 00:13:21,610 --> 00:13:24,810 poem. Do you have a poetic response to the poem, 188 00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:28,730 Jehan? As usual? No, I mean, was it in poetry? 189 00:13:29,530 --> 00:13:39,770 Okay. You know, Jehan always likes to versify a 190 00:13:39,770 --> 00:13:40,190 response. 191 00:13:43,890 --> 00:13:46,610 Okay, I read this. I wandered lonely between my 192 00:13:46,610 --> 00:13:49,430 books, this exam, that exams, and research hooks, 193 00:13:49,770 --> 00:13:52,250 when all at once I did realize the semester and 194 00:13:52,250 --> 00:13:54,550 the class are sweeping away. Daffodil's 195 00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:57,290 Wordsworth's pen remarked, a manifestation of 196 00:13:57,290 --> 00:14:00,790 romanticism in our books engraved. A revolution it 197 00:14:00,790 --> 00:14:02,770 was for nature they pursued, imagination, 198 00:14:03,150 --> 00:14:05,610 thoughts, and powerful feelings, to the era they 199 00:14:05,610 --> 00:14:10,110 are all supposed to be healings. So, as well, I 200 00:14:10,110 --> 00:14:12,390 recollected my thoughts in tranquility as 201 00:14:12,390 --> 00:14:15,160 Wordsworth stays. Thank you very much. Again, like 202 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,300 she tried to versify this time, but I know like 203 00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:21,620 why she doesn't like it because it seems like she 204 00:14:21,620 --> 00:14:25,220 was very busy, but it's very good. Okay, I think 205 00:14:25,220 --> 00:14:30,220 it's time for Ola to take the floor. She has, you 206 00:14:30,220 --> 00:14:34,140 know, the 30 minutes she asked for and good. 207 00:15:10,730 --> 00:15:11,230 Okay, 208 00:15:17,810 --> 00:15:19,750 good morning everybody. My name is Oana Al 209 00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:21,910 -Mashrykh and I'm here today to introduce to you 210 00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:24,090 the Daffodils by William Wordsworth. 211 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,840 So I will talk about William Wordsworth, then I 212 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,620 will talk about the characteristics of William 213 00:15:31,620 --> 00:15:34,480 Wordsworth, or especially the poetry of William 214 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,340 Wordsworth, then analysis of the poem, then I will 215 00:15:37,340 --> 00:15:39,440 talk about the themes, rhyme and rhythm, figures 216 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,900 of speech, and finally, I will talk about the 217 00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:44,180 characteristics of romanticism applied in this 218 00:15:44,180 --> 00:15:49,220 poem. So William Wordsworth was a major English 219 00:15:49,220 --> 00:15:51,880 romantic poet who with some multilayered colors 220 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,170 wrote that we know of course, helped launch the 221 00:15:55,170 --> 00:15:58,570 Romantic Age. They led the Romantic Age, and 222 00:15:58,570 --> 00:16:01,410 they're the first poets who wrote about the 223 00:16:01,410 --> 00:16:04,670 Romanticism. He wrote, he's the one who wrote the 224 00:16:04,670 --> 00:16:06,830 lyrical ballads, which is the collection, a 225 00:16:06,830 --> 00:16:09,810 collection of poets, of poems written in a 226 00:16:09,810 --> 00:16:12,450 romantic way. The factors that affected his way 227 00:16:12,450 --> 00:16:15,270 and thinking that it's the French Revolution and 228 00:16:15,270 --> 00:16:17,970 also the Industrial Revolution that we were 229 00:16:17,970 --> 00:16:20,770 introduced in the previous lectures. His writings 230 00:16:20,770 --> 00:16:23,810 was, his writing was a movement away from those of 231 00:16:23,810 --> 00:16:26,210 his peers who wrote especially for educated 232 00:16:26,210 --> 00:16:30,470 aristocrats and intellectual elites, that he was 233 00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:32,590 writing for the common people, he was writing for 234 00:16:32,590 --> 00:16:35,190 the ordinary people in a simple way, in simple 235 00:16:35,190 --> 00:16:38,870 words, not like his previous era who were liking, 236 00:16:39,370 --> 00:16:42,650 who liked writing for the elites in a very 237 00:16:42,650 --> 00:16:46,000 complicated way. Then he wrote this poem, I 238 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,340 Wandered Lonely, as a cloud or like some might 239 00:16:49,340 --> 00:16:53,560 call it the daffodils while he was working to 240 00:16:53,560 --> 00:17:00,000 express his experience when he was working in the 241 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,880 place called what? Lake District. It's like a 242 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:11,530 place of many lakes. in Britain, he was working 243 00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:16,030 with his sister Dorothy while they came across 244 00:17:16,030 --> 00:17:19,490 this field of daffodils. So after two years of 245 00:17:19,490 --> 00:17:22,510 this experience, he managed to write this poem 246 00:17:22,510 --> 00:17:26,590 that inspired him to write this poem after two 247 00:17:26,590 --> 00:17:26,910 years. 248 00:17:31,770 --> 00:17:34,990 Yeah, so he like was inspired by her diaries when 249 00:17:34,990 --> 00:17:38,810 he read them. Yeah, and there's like many lines, 250 00:17:39,010 --> 00:17:41,330 like two lines of this poem was written by his 251 00:17:41,330 --> 00:17:49,050 wife, Mary. Yeah, this experience. And he also 252 00:17:49,050 --> 00:17:52,370 considered these two lines as of the most 253 00:17:52,370 --> 00:17:57,590 beautiful lines in his poem. So he saw this field 254 00:17:57,590 --> 00:18:01,290 of daffodils in 1802 and he wrote this poem after 255 00:18:01,290 --> 00:18:06,710 two years like might be in 1804. So the 256 00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:09,970 characteristics of Wordsworth's poetry was like 257 00:18:09,970 --> 00:18:13,430 balance between mind and emotion. In his poems and 258 00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:16,330 his poetry, he makes balance between mind and 259 00:18:16,330 --> 00:18:19,250 emotion since he considered that poetry is a 260 00:18:19,250 --> 00:18:23,130 combination of reason and imagination. Also that 261 00:18:23,130 --> 00:18:26,230 poetry is an experience. Poetry is an experience 262 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:30,830 that is aroused in a very simple style themes to 263 00:18:30,830 --> 00:18:35,750 introduce his poems to the ordinary and common 264 00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:39,650 people. A poet is a teacher, but the difference 265 00:18:39,650 --> 00:18:43,290 between the poet and the ordinary teacher that the 266 00:18:43,290 --> 00:18:46,850 poet teaches through the medium of pleasure. So he 267 00:18:46,850 --> 00:18:52,050 has to please his reader in order to teach him. 268 00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:56,440 Yeah, I think you hear why the teaching is by 269 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,200 intuition, not by reason. Yeah. Not by 270 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,320 rationalization. Exactly. Because, you know, in 271 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,220 the ninth classical age, like, poetry was 272 00:19:07,220 --> 00:19:12,200 didactic. They were teaching in a very direct way. 273 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,200 Like, if you look at Alexander's book, first 274 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,100 foreign nature and your judgment 275 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,340 Okay, see what I mean? 276 00:19:37,540 --> 00:19:39,880 Okay, there is human and nature are topics for 277 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:47,200 romantic poetry. In his poetry, he sees that human 278 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:52,800 is no more neglected as in the previous eras from 279 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:58,060 the new classic poets. And also that the nature 280 00:19:58,060 --> 00:20:01,280 also a topic for romantic poetry since nature was 281 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:07,280 neglected in other periods before him. and that 282 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,260 nature is opposite to the mechanism and to the 283 00:20:10,260 --> 00:20:14,120 corrupted society that was in that, before that 284 00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:20,180 time. Revolution-like. He start to regain the lost 285 00:20:20,180 --> 00:20:23,540 dignity for human and nature. Yeah. Because nature 286 00:20:23,540 --> 00:20:27,580 was abused by the values of the night classic. Man 287 00:20:27,580 --> 00:20:30,160 was abused by the values of the night classic. So 288 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,840 we're talking about a man who was trying to regain 289 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,970 dignity. Then the connection between poet's 290 00:20:39,970 --> 00:20:44,730 feelings and ideas. He believed that to convey his 291 00:20:44,730 --> 00:20:50,170 message to the reader properly, he should connect 292 00:20:50,170 --> 00:20:53,870 between feelings and ideas to express his poetic 293 00:20:53,870 --> 00:20:57,390 experience. And finally, the poet is a creative 294 00:20:57,390 --> 00:21:01,610 person. is creative, not as the ordinary people 295 00:21:01,610 --> 00:21:04,530 that sees everything in an ordinary way. He 296 00:21:04,530 --> 00:21:07,570 considers everything like when he wrote the 297 00:21:07,570 --> 00:21:10,450 daffodils. When we say that the daffodils are like 298 00:21:10,450 --> 00:21:13,890 simple creatures that no one can like give a shit 299 00:21:13,890 --> 00:21:19,550 to them. So the poet himself can consider 300 00:21:19,550 --> 00:21:22,410 everything as an inspiration for him to write 301 00:21:22,410 --> 00:21:24,890 about. It's very good, like the poet is creative 302 00:21:24,890 --> 00:21:28,690 because you know, The poets of the, you know, 18th 303 00:21:28,690 --> 00:21:30,790 century in the United States were imitating 304 00:21:30,790 --> 00:21:35,010 nature. Were imitating nature. You remember 305 00:21:35,010 --> 00:21:37,510 Dryden? You know, art is an imitation. You 306 00:21:37,510 --> 00:21:41,190 remember Alexander Poe? All of them were imitating 307 00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:45,950 for the sake of teaching and delight. Here, like 308 00:21:45,950 --> 00:21:50,570 he's creating, is he creating nature? No. What is 309 00:21:50,570 --> 00:21:54,150 he creating? He's creating like feelings toward 310 00:21:54,150 --> 00:21:57,850 nature. I don't know, like, he might be creating a 311 00:21:57,850 --> 00:22:00,890 new nature, you know, because this is more... Like 312 00:22:00,890 --> 00:22:05,070 visualizing and like, uh-huh, so personifying. Now 313 00:22:05,070 --> 00:22:07,810 I will take you in a very small journey to the 314 00:22:07,810 --> 00:22:11,310 place where Wordsworth found this field of 315 00:22:11,310 --> 00:22:15,110 daffodils in Lake District or Jersme. 316 00:22:18,490 --> 00:22:24,130 We'll travel from our university to that place. To 317 00:22:24,130 --> 00:22:28,410 the dove cottage? Yeah, to the doctor. It doesn't 318 00:22:28,410 --> 00:22:28,770 work. 319 00:22:32,350 --> 00:22:36,910 No, it doesn't work. I don't know why. 320 00:22:41,250 --> 00:22:42,410 It works on my laptop. 321 00:22:47,470 --> 00:22:50,350 Maybe because it's this... 322 00:22:55,950 --> 00:22:58,110 I have a song, this song, it doesn't work here. 323 00:22:58,110 --> 00:23:01,030 Yeah, and I have... You have a song? I have also, 324 00:23:01,090 --> 00:23:04,090 I have also about, I have also. Okay. It's just, 325 00:23:04,630 --> 00:23:08,010 it doesn't work here. No problem. Can you give me 326 00:23:08,010 --> 00:23:12,490 more, like... Start from there, it's the song, 327 00:23:12,610 --> 00:23:15,230 yes? No, it's not the song. It's a journey, then 328 00:23:15,230 --> 00:23:17,890 after it will be the song. Okay, you know, like 329 00:23:17,890 --> 00:23:22,550 imagine that you came to the, like, big district. 330 00:23:22,990 --> 00:23:25,810 I was there myself. Tell me why it doesn't work. 331 00:23:27,790 --> 00:23:32,470 And I had some time to sit on the couch, which is 332 00:23:32,470 --> 00:23:34,990 mentioned in the poem. In fact, the scene is very 333 00:23:34,990 --> 00:23:38,030 captivating. You know, the lake area is a mountain 334 00:23:38,030 --> 00:23:41,090 surrounded by, sorry, it's a lake surrounded by 335 00:23:41,090 --> 00:23:44,930 areas and by a lot of beautiful daffodils around 336 00:23:44,930 --> 00:23:48,450 the bay. So, I mean, the scene was very 337 00:23:48,450 --> 00:23:52,130 fascinating. So, next time I'll be showing them 338 00:23:52,130 --> 00:23:54,990 the scene. You just start the poem, go ahead. 339 00:23:55,090 --> 00:24:01,450 Okay. Because we're running out of time. In the 340 00:24:01,450 --> 00:24:05,250 first stanza... In the first stanza, I wandered 341 00:24:05,250 --> 00:24:08,350 alone... I just want a girl to read this stanza. 342 00:24:08,890 --> 00:24:13,130 Because we have no, like, reader. Who wants to 343 00:24:13,130 --> 00:24:20,670 read? I wandered lonely as a dove. Come on. Come 344 00:24:20,670 --> 00:24:23,080 on, Jihan. Yeah. 345 00:24:25,460 --> 00:24:29,120 I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high 346 00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:33,720 over vales and hills. Could you raise your? I 347 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,880 wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high 348 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,280 over vales and hills, when all at once I saw a 349 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,060 crowd, a host of golden daffodils, beside the lake 350 00:24:44,060 --> 00:24:46,880 beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the 351 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,480 breeze, continuous as the stars that shine and 352 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,760 twinkle in the milky way. They stretch a never 353 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,640 -ending line along the margin of a bay. Ten 354 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,280 thousand saw I advance, tossing their heads in 355 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,220 spirited dance. The waves beside them danced, but 356 00:25:05,220 --> 00:25:08,860 they outdid the sparkling leaves in glee. A poet 357 00:25:08,860 --> 00:25:13,520 could not but be gay, be but gay. It's the most 358 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,660 difficult line. A poet could not but be gay in 359 00:25:17,660 --> 00:25:21,120 such a joke on company. Company. Yeah, not 360 00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:25,900 company. because you know me right. Yeah. Yeah. I 361 00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:29,020 gazed and gazed, but little thought what wealth 362 00:25:29,020 --> 00:25:32,800 this show to me had brought. For oft when on my 363 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,240 couch I lie in vacant or intensive mood, they 364 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,520 flash upon that inward eye, which is the bliss of 365 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,780 solitude, and then my heart will play the bells 366 00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:45,180 and dances with the daffodils. Yeah, thank you 367 00:25:45,180 --> 00:25:49,100 very much. Yeah, thank you. Like, I think, you 368 00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:52,220 know, you can read it better, you know. I'm not 369 00:25:52,220 --> 00:25:55,140 good at research. No, no, no. Like it should be, 370 00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:58,640 you know, like when you say like, I don't know, 371 00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:01,600 you can bring, I wandered lonely as a cloud, like 372 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,460 this is very, I wandered lonely as a cloud that's 373 00:26:05,460 --> 00:26:07,820 close over the vales and hills. 374 00:26:24,590 --> 00:26:27,930 You all hear it? Because the poet started to 375 00:26:27,930 --> 00:26:30,850 interact with nature. You guys see what I mean? 376 00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:31,610 Good. 377 00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:38,670 So in this stanza, the poet expresses his life 378 00:26:38,670 --> 00:26:41,310 experience with his sister while they were walking 379 00:26:41,310 --> 00:26:44,390 beneath the fields, and they came across this 380 00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:48,610 field of daffodils. These fields of daffodils were 381 00:26:48,610 --> 00:26:50,990 like a huge field. 382 00:26:52,790 --> 00:26:55,950 And the first, from the first, from the very 383 00:26:55,950 --> 00:26:59,410 beginning of this stanza, he was like, he was like 384 00:26:59,410 --> 00:27:03,730 a lonely, lonely as a cloud. And this, that it 385 00:27:03,730 --> 00:27:06,390 loots on, that it loots on high over vales and 386 00:27:06,390 --> 00:27:09,330 hills, when all at once I saw a crowd, a host of 387 00:27:09,330 --> 00:27:12,250 golden daffodils. So it might be like a 388 00:27:12,250 --> 00:27:16,210 description for the field of daffodils, that it's 389 00:27:16,210 --> 00:27:19,570 like golden daffodils, the yellow color of the 390 00:27:19,570 --> 00:27:22,880 flowers. beside the lake beneath the trees, that 391 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,660 all these daffodils along the shore of the lake 392 00:27:26,660 --> 00:27:30,220 were stretches because of the huge number of them, 393 00:27:30,500 --> 00:27:33,280 fluttering and dancing in the breeze, like they 394 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,860 were dancing and fluttering in a very cheerful 395 00:27:35,860 --> 00:27:38,520 way, that they were very happy because of the 396 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:45,860 nature. So they... The parent might mean in this 397 00:27:45,860 --> 00:27:50,140 stanza that he wants us to express the disconnect 398 00:27:50,140 --> 00:27:53,820 and the dispassionate way that we all live in our 399 00:27:53,820 --> 00:27:57,500 lives. That we have like no aim in our life. We 400 00:27:57,500 --> 00:28:01,420 are aimless people. So the nature is like an 401 00:28:01,420 --> 00:28:04,680 inspiration for us. So we are like away from the 402 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:09,290 nature. Yeah, this sounds like you know he's a 403 00:28:09,290 --> 00:28:12,170 pantheist yeah I don't think he was a pantheist 404 00:28:12,170 --> 00:28:15,610 but this shows like how now here he's celebrating 405 00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:19,790 nature yes he's wandering and you know why he was 406 00:28:19,790 --> 00:28:22,810 wandering like wandering here he was wandering 407 00:28:22,810 --> 00:28:25,690 lonely it means he was suffering from loneliness 408 00:28:25,690 --> 00:28:29,210 yes and we like in the previous lecture we 409 00:28:29,210 --> 00:28:34,280 understood that loneliness was as a As a result of 410 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,160 all the abuses of the classical age, the 411 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,420 industrial revolution, man was rejected because 412 00:28:40,420 --> 00:28:44,220 man lost his dignity. But you know, you see he's 413 00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:46,340 celebrating nature here. I like the way when you 414 00:28:46,340 --> 00:28:49,300 say nature is huge. There is a celebration of 415 00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:53,740 nature. How nature is distinguished here? Why is 416 00:28:53,740 --> 00:28:57,180 he celebrating nature here? Like look here, if you 417 00:28:57,180 --> 00:29:01,200 look, it is a crowd and then it becomes a host. So 418 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,770 look. The way he gradually, you know, starts to 419 00:29:04,770 --> 00:29:08,670 perceive nature. He is not static. You know, he 420 00:29:08,670 --> 00:29:10,910 was lonely. He saw a crowd and the crowd 421 00:29:10,910 --> 00:29:14,650 contradicts with lonely. Then this crowd is a 422 00:29:14,650 --> 00:29:18,090 host. And you know what a host has all the 423 00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:22,130 positive connotation. A host means hospitality. A 424 00:29:22,130 --> 00:29:25,890 host means love, respect, you know, all of this 425 00:29:25,890 --> 00:29:31,170 compassion. And then beside, as she said, they are 426 00:29:31,170 --> 00:29:36,130 huge. beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in 427 00:29:36,130 --> 00:29:39,670 the breeze. You see? They are everywhere. Like 428 00:29:39,670 --> 00:29:45,130 they are, you know, ample. You must be ample? A 429 00:29:45,130 --> 00:29:49,650 lot. So he celebrates the vastness of nature. 430 00:29:50,550 --> 00:29:54,710 Nature is very vast. Nature is huge. Nature is not 431 00:29:54,710 --> 00:29:57,490 a little thing. Nature is not just small animals. 432 00:29:58,290 --> 00:30:01,690 Nature is more than this, okay? And so regarding 433 00:30:01,690 --> 00:30:04,450 the word lonely as a cloud, as like most people 434 00:30:04,450 --> 00:30:07,770 are floating on the miles above the nature, miles 435 00:30:07,770 --> 00:30:14,370 above the real nature, and they like missing a lot 436 00:30:14,370 --> 00:30:19,130 of things, like they are missing the quiet virtues 437 00:30:19,130 --> 00:30:22,990 of nature, of the beauty, and of many 438 00:30:22,990 --> 00:30:26,950 characteristics of, or of many sources of 439 00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:30,810 emotional and spiritual nourishment. So when 440 00:30:30,810 --> 00:30:34,110 people are away of the nature, they are missing a 441 00:30:34,110 --> 00:30:38,170 lot of things, like he said. And this stands, it's 442 00:30:38,170 --> 00:30:40,630 like all it's about like description or 443 00:30:40,630 --> 00:30:44,450 description, especially description of the field 444 00:30:44,450 --> 00:30:47,670 of the daffodils, that it's continuous as the 445 00:30:47,670 --> 00:30:50,810 stars that shine and twinkle on the Milky Way. We 446 00:30:50,810 --> 00:30:53,830 know that the Milky Way is the name of our galaxy, 447 00:30:53,970 --> 00:30:56,780 that we live in. So he's like comparing the 448 00:30:56,780 --> 00:31:01,480 daffodils with the stars, that he's comparing the 449 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,160 daffodils procession with the eternity of the 450 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,140 stars, that he is also making, that he also 451 00:31:07,140 --> 00:31:11,420 creating a link between the daffodils and the 452 00:31:11,420 --> 00:31:14,620 stars, or he's like creating a link between the 453 00:31:14,620 --> 00:31:17,280 nature and the universe. So this 454 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,020 In a phenomenon. It is not only an earthly 455 00:31:32,020 --> 00:31:36,680 phenomenon, okay? They structured a never-ending 456 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,880 line along the margin of a bay. Ten thousand saw 457 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,740 Ayatollahs tossing their heads in sparsely dance. 458 00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:46,340 So here like he's expressing the number of the 459 00:31:46,340 --> 00:31:49,540 daffodils like they are never-ending line. There's 460 00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:51,700 a huge number of daffodils in this field. 461 00:32:04,270 --> 00:32:06,670 And that's why, you know, so it should be written 462 00:32:06,670 --> 00:32:11,710 this way. They snatched it. Along the margin of 463 00:32:11,710 --> 00:32:17,930 the daily. And then, 10,000. So I. So I, what did 464 00:32:17,930 --> 00:32:23,770 I say? So I. Anastrophe. I don't know why. What 465 00:32:23,770 --> 00:32:25,970 are you doing? I'm just like wanting to do 466 00:32:25,970 --> 00:32:29,910 something. So I. So I. So I. Yeah, I know, but 467 00:32:29,910 --> 00:32:34,550 why? Why is this converging? Forget about what 468 00:32:34,550 --> 00:32:43,490 anyone would like to do. Ten thousand 469 00:32:43,490 --> 00:32:48,810 saw I at a glance to sink their heads in a 470 00:32:48,810 --> 00:32:52,780 sprightly dance. I like the IMG, I like the 471 00:32:52,780 --> 00:32:55,300 tossing. It's like humanizing the daffodils, like 472 00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:58,480 they are like human beings that are dancing and 473 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,200 like tossing their heads. So it's like visualizing 474 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,360 the experience, like he is like the reader to 475 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,260 share his experience with him and to imagine the 476 00:33:11,260 --> 00:33:14,240 whole experience, the whole field of daffodils and 477 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,020 why the poet decided to write about this field. 478 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,400 The waves beside them dance, but they outdid the 479 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,000 sparkling waves in glee. A poet could not but be 480 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,920 gay. Like he's comparing between the troubling, 481 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:35,440 the rumbling waves that are sparkling beside the 482 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:41,280 field of daffodils and then And then that he is 483 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,640 saying that the field of daffodils outdo like he, 484 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,880 the daffodils defeated the rebelling waves in 485 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,640 their like movement and dancing. So that this 486 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,860 field of daffodils is like more amazing than 487 00:33:56,860 --> 00:33:59,740 anything in this nature. And then a poet could not 488 00:33:59,740 --> 00:34:02,480 but be gay in such a joking company. And at that 489 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,360 time of that experience before two years, He was 490 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,660 like, he was of course cheerful and like gleeful, 491 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:13,740 but to not that extent that he like was while he 492 00:34:13,740 --> 00:34:16,160 was writing his poem. Like he was very cheerful, 493 00:34:16,620 --> 00:34:21,750 but he didn't appreciate the nature. But after two 494 00:34:21,750 --> 00:34:24,410 years, he didn't appreciate the scene before him 495 00:34:24,410 --> 00:34:27,930 while he was working with his sister. And after 496 00:34:27,930 --> 00:34:31,770 two years, he appreciated this scene more and more 497 00:34:31,770 --> 00:34:35,130 and started to write this scene in his poetry. Can 498 00:34:35,130 --> 00:34:38,530 I ask a question? Why did he say a man could not 499 00:34:38,530 --> 00:34:41,270 but be just gay? Why did he say a poet in 500 00:34:41,270 --> 00:34:46,070 particular? Can I answer? Okay, yes. Because an 501 00:34:46,070 --> 00:34:48,690 ordinary man cannot notice this cheerful or 502 00:34:48,690 --> 00:34:52,630 playful field of daffodils like the poet. The poet 503 00:34:52,630 --> 00:34:55,490 is very sensitive that he can notice anything in 504 00:34:55,490 --> 00:34:57,950 nature and he can be like touched. But we can 505 00:34:57,950 --> 00:35:02,410 notice everything in nature as well. But we cannot 506 00:35:02,410 --> 00:35:06,010 be touched. Why a poet could not but be just gay? 507 00:35:07,050 --> 00:35:09,210 Because he's more sensitive than ordinary people. 508 00:35:09,210 --> 00:35:14,510 Okay. More sensitive than you. He's more 509 00:35:14,510 --> 00:35:18,870 sensitive. He has a higher sensation. Teacher, 510 00:35:19,630 --> 00:35:21,690 like, the daffodils cannot touch our hearts like 511 00:35:21,690 --> 00:35:23,870 this, in this way. No, they can touch, you know. 512 00:35:23,970 --> 00:35:26,130 No. You see the daffodils, oh my God, they're 513 00:35:26,130 --> 00:35:27,370 loving you, they like you. There are many 514 00:35:27,370 --> 00:35:30,250 daffodils in the street and we never give like a 515 00:35:30,250 --> 00:35:32,670 glance to them. Yeah. But there's like the boat, 516 00:35:32,790 --> 00:35:36,420 it's very sensitive, he likes it a lot. We might 517 00:35:36,420 --> 00:35:38,420 sometimes, we have. We don't have that. Like 518 00:35:38,420 --> 00:35:41,440 little, like. No, we don't have that. We have, why 519 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,960 not? No, no, no, we don't. It's very ordinary, 520 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,820 like flower. You know, what are the levels? They 521 00:35:46,820 --> 00:35:50,520 are, we don't have these flowers that we can think 522 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,820 of. It depends on the sphere. It depends on the 523 00:35:53,820 --> 00:35:58,160 sphere. He means about, especially about romantic 524 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,080 feeling. That he feel the atmosphere around him, 525 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,680 he should be happy in this aspect of the sphere. 526 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:12,280 Yes, in fact, like, why would a housewife be happy 527 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,900 in the kitchen? Because when she has all the 528 00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:18,820 ingredients for cooking, she would be happy. You 529 00:36:18,820 --> 00:36:23,440 know? Here, like a poet is having all the elements 530 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:28,360 of creativity. Of creativity. Like he can, you 531 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,380 know, create now. Why? Because he has everything 532 00:36:32,380 --> 00:36:35,690 in front of him. A poet could not but be gay, 533 00:36:36,130 --> 00:36:39,110 could not but, you know, but be gay, like accept. 534 00:36:39,470 --> 00:36:41,910 He has nothing to do except being happy. Why? 535 00:36:42,030 --> 00:36:45,110 Because this is his chance, this is his 536 00:36:45,110 --> 00:36:50,200 opportunity to create. Okay? Okay. I gazed and 537 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,120 gazed but little thought what wealth to show to me 538 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,160 had brought he's just like wondering how like this 539 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,800 amazing field has like touched his heart and 540 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:03,660 touches emotions by uh so and after that we have 541 00:37:03,660 --> 00:37:07,600 this fourth stanza for off twin on my couch I lie 542 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,710 so this is like uh and recollecting of his 543 00:37:11,710 --> 00:37:15,950 emotions. The first three stanzas was about his 544 00:37:15,950 --> 00:37:18,970 experience in the past and the first stanza he was 545 00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:22,030 recollecting when he was studying the definition 546 00:37:22,030 --> 00:37:25,990 of poetry by William Wordsworth that poetry is a 547 00:37:25,990 --> 00:37:28,410 spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings 548 00:37:28,410 --> 00:37:31,570 recollected in tranquility. So here he applies 549 00:37:31,570 --> 00:37:36,380 this definition in his poem, like when he was in 550 00:37:36,380 --> 00:37:39,580 tranquility on his couch, on his couch with a 551 00:37:39,580 --> 00:37:42,820 pensive and vacant and relaxed mood, he 552 00:37:42,820 --> 00:37:45,100 recollected all that experience that happened 553 00:37:45,100 --> 00:37:48,000 before two years and he started writing about this 554 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,700 experience in his poetry that flashed upon that 555 00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:54,440 inward eye, that it flashed in the poet himself, 556 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,980 in the memory of the poet, which is a bliss of 557 00:37:57,980 --> 00:38:02,400 solitude. So this recollecting and writing is a 558 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,240 bliss of solitude. Because he was alone with 559 00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:08,800 himself on his couch, lying on his couch, he 560 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,960 started remembering and recollecting that 561 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,680 experience. And then my heart with pleasure fills 562 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,340 and dances with the daffodil. So when he was 563 00:38:16,340 --> 00:38:19,740 retrieving a memory of that experience, He felt 564 00:38:19,740 --> 00:38:23,300 very happy, he felt cheerful, delightful, gleeful, 565 00:38:23,660 --> 00:38:26,980 because at that time, he was dancing with the 566 00:38:26,980 --> 00:38:31,880 daffodils. So the experience started, so that 567 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,280 experience that happened before two years remains 568 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,180 with the poet after two years. And he also 569 00:38:39,180 --> 00:38:43,200 remembered that life, it was happening at this 570 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,140 time. It's a replica of the same image, but this 571 00:38:46,140 --> 00:38:48,860 is the question. Like the image of the daffodils 572 00:38:48,860 --> 00:38:51,900 he stored in his mind. Yeah. Now when they flash, 573 00:38:52,540 --> 00:38:56,380 was it the same image or was it a reconstructed 574 00:38:56,380 --> 00:38:59,600 image in his mind? It was a reconstructed image. 575 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,260 It was a reconstructed image. Yeah, for sure. It 576 00:39:01,260 --> 00:39:05,140 was a reconstructed image saved in his mind. More 577 00:39:05,140 --> 00:39:08,680 amazing also. So when he sits in a pensive, you 578 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:13,620 know, or vacant like pool, they just like come 579 00:39:13,620 --> 00:39:15,980 like this. Yeah, flashing. And he's happy again. 580 00:39:16,930 --> 00:39:20,510 Look how nature is valuable. But nature is not on 581 00:39:20,510 --> 00:39:26,070 its own. Nature, you know, with the bliss of 582 00:39:26,070 --> 00:39:28,870 solitude, which is what? What is the bliss of 583 00:39:28,870 --> 00:39:36,390 solitude here? It is the inward I. It is the 584 00:39:36,390 --> 00:39:39,570 inward I, which is the bliss of solitude. What is 585 00:39:39,570 --> 00:39:45,230 the inward I? It is the imagination. It is the 586 00:39:45,230 --> 00:39:48,810 memory. the poetic imagination, the inward I. It 587 00:39:48,810 --> 00:39:52,530 is this powerful faculty which succeeded in 588 00:39:52,530 --> 00:39:56,570 reconstructing, you know, the whole experience and 589 00:39:56,570 --> 00:40:00,450 stored it in the poet's mind. So this is a 590 00:40:00,450 --> 00:40:04,710 valuable experience man can again dance with 591 00:40:04,710 --> 00:40:08,500 nature, you know, behave with nature. Now 592 00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:12,240 regarding the theme, it might be about the value 593 00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:14,440 of nature, that there are many considered themes, 594 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,380 but I will focus on this theme, the value of 595 00:40:17,380 --> 00:40:22,860 nature. We for sure know that beauty is like a 596 00:40:22,860 --> 00:40:27,020 simple creature, it's like a simple creature that 597 00:40:27,020 --> 00:40:30,500 gives pleasures to anyone. So also the beauty of 598 00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:35,860 nature that everyone can also can always like feel 599 00:40:35,860 --> 00:40:38,320 in this heart and can always carry in this heart 600 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,360 for for like many years. And so when Hertzworth 601 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,600 like came across this field of daffodils, he felt 602 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,550 pleased. And he felt excited. And he felt that 603 00:40:50,550 --> 00:40:54,090 he's like a part of the nature, like he's dancing 604 00:40:54,090 --> 00:40:56,870 with the daffodils in the breeze. So when the 605 00:40:56,870 --> 00:41:00,930 scene flashed back in his mind or his memory, he 606 00:41:00,930 --> 00:41:04,810 also felt that he's dancing in the same way that 607 00:41:04,810 --> 00:41:07,310 the daffodils were dancing before two years. He 608 00:41:07,310 --> 00:41:09,710 started to feel that he's a part of nature. So he 609 00:41:09,710 --> 00:41:12,170 started fluttering, dancing in a very cheerful 610 00:41:12,170 --> 00:41:16,390 way. So simple pleasures can cure a lonely heart, 611 00:41:16,770 --> 00:41:20,090 can make one happy. Sometimes you just have to 612 00:41:20,090 --> 00:41:23,750 look around, slow down. Don't be too catch up with 613 00:41:23,750 --> 00:41:26,210 the pace of the busy. Simple pleasurable 614 00:41:26,210 --> 00:41:31,870 experience. Don't be worrying about every trivial 615 00:41:31,870 --> 00:41:35,750 thing in your world. Just be relaxed and consider 616 00:41:35,750 --> 00:41:41,510 everything happy in your world.
