I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud
“I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud” is one of William Wordsworth’s many poems that deals with man’s relationship with nature. ... The fact that the narrator of the poem likens himself to a cloud is particularly intriguing. The image of a cloud slowly floating over a valley not only evokes loneliness, but also seems to symbolize man’s relationship with nature. The cloud is alone in nature, because it hovers over everything; there is nothing that high in the sky that exists along with it.
