TRUE EXPRESSIONS

PHOTOGRAPHER : RONALD KOTINSKY

I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD

I wandered lonely as a cloud That on high o ' er and hills , When all at once I saw a crowd , A host , of daffodils ; Beside the lake , the trees , Fluttering and in the breeze .
Continuous as the that shine And on the way , They in never-ending line Along the of a bay : Ten aw I at a glance , Tossing heads in dance .
The beside them danced ; but they Out-did the waves in glee : A poet not but be gay , In such a company : I gazed---and gazed---but thought What the show to me had brought :
For oft , when on my I lie In or in mood , They upon that eye Which is the of solitude ; And then my with fills , And with the daffodils .
William Wordsworth 1770 - 1850
