Wordsworth

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

Wordsworth wrote "I wandered lonely as a cloud", but clouds don't have legs, do they? So how was he allowed to get away with that kind of stuff?

I read it this way . . .

The poet wandered.

The poet was as lonely as a cloud.

I don’t read that the poet wandered like a cloud.

I don't think you need legs to wander.

I don't think you need legs to wander.

My mind wanders regularly without ever engaging the rest of my body.
