Background
A description of the experience
William Wordsworth – from To the Daisy
With little here to do or see
Of things that in the great world be,
Sweet Daisy, oft I talk to thee
For thou art worthy,
Thou unassuming commonplace
Of nature, with that homely face
And yet with something of a grace
Which love makes for thee
…........
Sweet flower, for by that name at last
When all my reveries are past
I call thee and to that cleave fast,
Sweet silent creature!
That breath'st with me in sun and air,
Do thou, as thou art wont, repair
My heart with gladness, and a share
Of thy meek nature.
