Question

read the poem.
i wandered lonely as a cloud
by william wordsworth
i wandered lonely as a cloud
that floats on high oer 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 breeze.
continuous as the stars that shine
and twinkle on the milky way,
they stretched in never - ending line
along the margin of a bay
ten thousand saw i at a glance,
tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
read this line from the poem
continuous as the stars that shine
what is the meaning of the simile in the poem?
the daffodils shine in the sun like stars in the sky
like the stars, daffodils keep on shining
daffodils glow like the stars they resemble.
like the stars, there are too many daffodils to count

Explanation:

The simile "Continuous as the stars that shine" is comparing the daffodils to stars. The key aspect here is the idea of continuity. Stars in the Milky Way are numerous and seem to stretch on endlessly. In the poem, the daffodils are described as being in a "never - ending line". So, the simile is emphasizing the large number of daffodils (like the large number of stars) which makes them seem too many to count.

Answer:

Like the stars, there are too many daffodils to count.
