Read the excerpt from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." 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. Which word does Wordsworth use to create an upbeat tone?
“Twinkle” suggests lively, sparkling movement and gives the scene a cheerful, upbeat feeling. “Crowd,” “stretched,” and “bay” are more neutral descriptions and do not create the same positive tone.
