Like for example Bliss of solitudeInward eyeIn vacant and in pensive mood10 000 saw I at a glance (only, Wordsworth uses wordfor the 10 000 (ten thousand) )Henri wanted to make an kindle poem, so he mixed the car leaflet or advertisement with Wordsworths poem.Wordsworths poem is about the daffodil as a part of nature and natural beauty. Henris daffodils is more comfortable in the technical age, as a machine or car.Both have some of the same lines which have been used in each poem, i.e. that floats on high oer vales and hills. Both us e language effectively to describe their different views on the daffodil. Wordsworth uses words which are not acquainted(predicate) to a modern reader but was in keeping for the time it was written in the 18th century, i.e. jocund glee bliss. Henri uses advertising language such as generously portioned and cruising speed to appeal to a modern reader. An 18th century reader would not understand parts of the language.Both poets use repetition to get across certain(p) points to the reader. Wordsworth uses similes and personification in order to encourage the reader to identify and recognise his message. Henri uses figures and bold capital letters to make his work more scientific and technical. It is his use of the language of the media, which helps the reader to identify with his point of view.Both poets are writing within the style and context of their own individual historical time. Wordsworth was born in 1770 and died in 1850. Some of his poetry including Daffodil was inspired b y his love of walking and travelling, and by observing and commenting on his natural surroundings.Adrian Henri was born in 1932 and is still living. I the 1960s he was know as one of the Liverpool poets and from 1967-1970 he led the poetry/rock group called Liverpool Scene. This probably helps to account for his collage style in this poem, of merge different types of poetry and texts in order to create something completely different.Both poems have a positive and happy tone. Wordsworths poem has a calm and equable tone, which is based on appreciation of the beauty of a natural landscape, and the calming effect that contemplation can have on the soul. Henris poem is much more upbeat and brash. It is selling the daffodil as a consumer item.I think that I will chose The daffodils by William Wordsworth because I am a person that like nature and not very interested in cars. It depend on the persons personality whether they like the poem by Wordsworth or the poem by Henri.Both titles sh ow that the poems are about daffodils. Wordsworth s poem is about flowers and Henris poem is about a Dutch car. Henri is using words and phrases he took from Wordsworths poem. Both poems are calm and happy. Both poets use repetition to get across certain points of the reader. Well my conclusion is that the two poems are not about the same thing.
