Bliss in Nature

by Jyoti Durgavarjhula · Mumbai, IN

A visual poetry , a collage work based on William Wordsworth poem on Daffodils- i wandered lonely as a cloud!. The painting engages with themes of nature, memory, and spirituality. These three are tied together as the painting moves through a beautiful landscape. One can take pleasure in the sight of the daffodils, the sunset, the sky and the clouds and revive your spirit in nature. The inward eye “ our memories” bring us bliss whenever we recall them. Beautiful memories of nature cheer us in later times through the power of imagination. I wandered lonely like a cloud- By William Wordsworth - excerpts: I wandered lonely like a cloud, That floats on high o'er 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 wind.......... For oft when on my coach I lie , In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye, Which is a bliss of solitude And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils!!
