<span>According to this excerpt from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"
by William Wordsworth, when the speaker is in a reflective mood he lays on his
couch and imagine the things in the sky such as clouds and stars which give him
peace and happiness.</span>
"But" is one of the coordinating conjuctions (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So) and indicates a contrast between two independent clauses.
Example:
<u><em>"Waited so patiently for our report </em></u><u><em>BUT </em></u><u><em>we have not submitted it yet" </em></u>
IMPORTANT:
An independent clause is one in which a complement is not necessary to make sense. If you take the sentences before and after the conjunctions, they make sense by themselves; there is no need of complement:
<em>- Waited so patiently for our report </em>
<em>- We have not submitted it yet.</em>
Answer:
The poetic element is most prominent in the poem is simile.
Explanation:
It is simile because it says,"days that outgrow, like daughters,
my harbouring arms." When a poem says like in it, it then has a simile in it.
It's a matter of opinion but I would say that if there was no evil, good would become the norm and people wouldn't see it as much as when evil is prevalent.
