Cheering him up, helping him feel better, the daffodils made the poet feel nature was the only friend he needed at the moment. Secondly, to Wordsworth, nature is a source of happiness. Throughout the poem, contrasts to the lonely cloud, the daffodils were always sprightly dancing all the time. Such was it happiness that even a sorrowful poet could be affected and "could not but be gay" again. Moreover, William Wordsworth was also very sophisticated when comparing the daffodils with the stars. Stars usually symbolize optimism and hope for the future. By that way, he indicated nature as a reliable source of happiness and hope, where there is a crowd of daffodils that he could always look back on when tired and frustrated in the hectic industrialized city and be happy again. Furthermore, to William Wordsworth, more than just a friend or happiness, nature was even regarded as a religion. He held an utmost faith in nature, at which he believed his soul could be placid. In addition, Wordsworth was born in the Romanticism Period, which is known as the age of disillusionment and loneliness in England. Since the bourgeois emerged with their snobbishness and selfishness due to the Industrial Revolution; materialism, corruption and social injustice were rose majestically. Therefore, many people, including William Wordsworth, had negative attitudes towards the actual world and retreated into their own dreaming world in which nature became a source of living. In "Daffodils", as you can see, when he was back to his daily life and was in vacant or in pensive mood, just a thought of the daffodils could make him feel pleased and happy again. He realized that the best gift he could receive from nature was a solace for his soul.
