These daffodils are to represent the poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." The earliest version of this poem was composed in 1804, but wasn't published until 1807. It was inspired by Wordsworth's sister, Dorothy. She had written in her journal describing a scene in Ullswater, in Glencoyne Bay. Wordsworth (Dorothy and/or William) mentioned seeing a field off beautiful, yellow daffodils swaying in the breeze beside a lake. The sight made them happy. It kept their thoughts away from what made them sad. Dorothy had visited ullswater in 1802, which is when she wrote about the sight she saw in her journal. A small excerpt from her journal entry includes, "I never saw daffodils so beautiful...they looked so gay ever glancing ever changing. This wind blew directly over the lake to them." Just by reading this, you get some imagery of what the scene looked like, which William Wordsworth also portrays in his poem.
