Question

One element of lyric poetry is personal reflection. Which lines in this poem most clearly illustrate that element?

A. 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.

B. Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:

C. The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:

D. For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,

Answer 1

I believe the answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

D contains lyrical poetics that involve personal reflection on the narrator's feelings at a point in their life, therefore probably satisfies the question.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood...

Step-by-step explanation:

Lyric poetry is a type of poetry that focuses on the emotions and feelings of the author, because of this it is common besides including perceptions, emotions, and feelings this type of poetry includes personal reflections of the author related to emotions or experiences.

In the case of the poem presented this is the poem "Daffodils" by William Wordsworth and in this poem in which the author describes the way he feels while observing a landscape with daffodils. This can be seen in the first three stanzas that includes vivid details about the daffodils like in "A host, of golden daffodils", "They stretched in never-ending line" or "The waves beside them danced".

Additionally, in the case of last stanza (option D) the author includes a short reflection about his feelings while observing the daffodils as in "Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills" that show both the happiness and the solitude the author feels and the way he reflects about it. Therefore, the lines that illustrate the personal reflection in this lyric poem are the last lines or option D.
