     These two poems are talking about the theme of nature and how it is important to humanity. In the poem “I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud: he starts off by listing the beautiful things regarding nature and flowers, and the galaxy and milky ways that are outside of Earth. He says “but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought:” he says that he did realize how the beauty of all the things he just described had such a positive impact on his life. When he’s at home and is doing nothing, just the thought of nature makes him feel at peace and this shows that nature is essential to his life.    In the poem Quarentine the tone is very sad and it talks about the death of a man and women. The woman was sick and the man was trying to carry her back, but they both end up freezing to death. Since the poem is called “quarentine” the nature references like the “seasons” and “winter” could be a metaphor for the condition that the world is in right now. The temperature is cold but in additi

             In the poem “I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud” by William Wordsworth describes the beauty of nature. He starts the poem by describing how he found a patch of the most beautiful daffodils. Throughout the poem Wordsworth describes the “golden daffodils” and how they “danced” in the breeze. Wordsworth compares the flowers to the beauty of the bay next to them, but the bay cannot compare. Wordsworth then says “ A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company” when describing how happy the daffodils made him. At the end of his poem, Wordsworth describes the memory of the daffodils as a “bliss of solitude”. This shows the calming effect the beauty of nature has on humans. The poem “Quarantine” by Eaven Bolen describes the unconditional love between two people. Bolen tells the story of a couple who sets out on a journey in through the night and are found dead the next morning. The wife was sick and the husband carried her so she could keep up. The husband also held his wife’s f

  I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud has a simple and straightforward language does not have much in the way of hidden or symbolic meaning but reflects the deep appreciation of Wordsworth's nature. I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud   symbolizes the joy, happiness of life, rebirth, and a new beginning, blessed by the grace of Nature. This poem is simple and melodious. Wordsworth uses descriptive language and does not resist wanting to participate in the dance of flowers. This poem is simply a delight to read.  Quarantine is about a couple who left their home at night in a very cold temperature because the wife ended up sick with famine fever, and the husband could not keep up with her. Eventually, they were both found dead in the morning of cold, hunger, and toxins. Just like Wordsworth'S poem, Boland's is also descriptive in this poem that shows the love the husband had for his wife.

  Ainsley Jodlbauer English Dr.Ellis 18 November 2020 “Quarantine” dives into a love that isn’t some type of “love story” that most authors write about. Bolen tells a story of a couple heading north, on foot, in order to escape the Irish potato famine. During this detrimental journey Bolen states that the man's wife has already fallen sick of famine, and was too weak to keep up with her husband. While we see the man became aware of their inability to make it, he decided to carry his wife on his back for as far as he could go. He chose to attempt to save her despite the pain he was putting himself through. They both ended up passing during their journey, but the author points out that the man's last gift of love he gave to her was his remaining warmth. Bolen introduces love in a dark sense, but not in a way where he portrays love as evil. He expresses the strength love is between people during the darkest points in their life. He stresses the point that even when life may be lea

      "I Wonder Lonely as a Cloud", to me is a poem involving nature and humans. The author seems to be upset and sad. They  unraval this world that deals with humans connecting with nature. I feel like the poem is trying to tell us to appreciate this world and all the nature you can. It can boost your moods and make you feel less lonely. I can definatly agree with that. When going out for a long drive with my friend in the country, it make us both feel less anxious and a lot more calm. We have a sense of connection with nature.       When first reading the title "Quarantine", my first thought was,"this is definitely about Covid". I was wrong. It turned out to be this quite saddening poem about this couple dying. They seemed liked they loved each other dearly and kept holding on to each other til the end. I think that this poem also deals with nature. It can be harmful. 

The poem “I wandered Lonely as a cloud” Is a poem about the connection between humans and nature. A concept we have repeatedly talked about is further displayed in this poem. The speaker is presented to be lonely and sad because of that loneliness however eventually realizes nature is there. In fact, nature has always been there. The personification of calling the daffodils a host and the trees dancing creates a sense of connection and humanity to those apart of nature. Breaking the barrier between the speaker and nature, as they are now filling up his gap and loneliness. The speaker continues to reveal this dynamic between humans and nature, emphasizing that humans should appreciate and embrace nature as it will help improve our moods and fill our sense of loneliness.   In the poem “Quarantine” by Eaven Bolen, the dark reality of true love is seen between the journey and death of a couple attempting to escape the harness of the Irish potato famine. In a sad but beautiful depiction
