"Daffodils" (1804)
I wander'd lonely as a cloud
- That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
- A host, of golden daffodils;
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
- And twinkle on the Milky Way,
- Along the margin of a bay:
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
- Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
- In such a jocund company:
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
- In vacant or in pensive mood,
- Which is the bliss of solitude;
And dances with the daffodils.
By William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

Beautiful poem, but never did I expect you to be so romantic :)
I'm not.
It's just that I can't see daffodils without thinking of this poem we read in original in 5th grade and had to draw the picture of what the first two stanzas described.
See, not romantic at all.
I love the poem. Wordsworth reminds me of Cesarić, mmmm, no wait, it's the other way around.
Do you ever think that? The way they both describe nature, simple and beautiful and so damn vivid at the same time.
So, Spring is here, exam period induced mood swings ahead, yay, fun!
I don't think about poetry. If I like, I like.
Uh, yes. Joy joy joy. I can hardly take all the excitement.
Daffodils remind me of my sisters Ex. Every spring he'd give her some and bring me some too. The only guy who ever gave me flowers.
It also reminds me of this song: http://www.imeem.com/people/-p3xPX/music/sXV3Pa-S/jc-chasez-lose-myself/
