British Poets William Wordsworth (1770-1850), British poet, credited with ushering in the English Romantic Movement with the publication of Lyrical Ballads (1798) in collaboration with Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Daffodils I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high oer 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 shineAnd twinkle on the milky way,They stretched in never-ending lineAlong the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance,Tossing their heads in sprightly dance??…… 水 仙? ? ?? ?? ?? ??? 山间谷中，百云漂浮。 我如白云，独自遨游。 忽见水仙，黄花清幽。 湖边树下，摆舞不休。 犹似银河，闪耀繁星。 水仙连绵，一望无垠。 千万花朵，入眼清新。 迎风摇摆，活泼欢欣。 Cultural Notes 1. British Poets William Blake (1757-1827), English poet, painter, engraver; one of the earliest and greatest figures of Romanticism. The most famous of Blake’s lyrical poems is Auguries of Innocence, with its memorable opening stanza. 天真的预示 一颗沙中看出一个世界， 一朵花里看出一座天堂， 把无限放在你的手掌上， 把永恒在一刹那间收藏。 Auguries of Innocence To see a world in a grain of sandAnd a heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,And eternity in an hour.
