The line ''I wandered lonely as a cloud'' is an example of a simile.

A simile is a figurative expression that compares one thing with another by using the words 'like' or 'as'.  

However, the use of "as" or "like" in simile is unique and therefore distinguishes from every other form.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Let us consider its variances in the following few examples.

Example: Hitler was as stubborn as a goat.

Note: The example has the use of 'as' repeatedly used thereby making the comparison between Hitler's doggedness and goat stubbornness or refusal to leave a place.

So, one can easily recognize a simile if it draws an indirect comparison between the quality of a thing and another.

''I wandered lonely as a cloud''  hints at the state of a person who walked aimlessly dejected person.

The post says ''I wander lonely''. Through the use of ''as'' he compares how he wandered around to the sluggishness and loneliness of a cloud in the sky.

Lena [83]
