Preludes by T.S. Eliot
I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high 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. For oft, when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,They flash upon that inward eyeWhich is the bliss of solitude;And then my heart with pleasure fills,And dances with the daffodils.
Analysis
I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high vales and hills,(sight)
When all at once I saw a crowd,(hearing, sight)
A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees,(sight)
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. (touch)
For oft, when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,(hearing)
They flash upon that inward eyeWhich is the bliss of solitude;(hearing)
And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. (sight)
Berjalan Kesepian Seperti Awan
Yang Mengapung Di Atas Lembah Dan Bukit Tinggi
Ketika Semua Melihat Kerumunan Orang Banyak
Sejumlah Bunga Bakung Emas
Disamping Danau Di Bawah Pohon
Berkibar Dan Menari Di Angin
Ketika berada Pada Sofa ku
Dalam Kosong, Dalam Suasana Hati Termenung
Mereka silih berganti masuk kedalam Mata Batin,
Merupakan Kebahagiaan Kesendirian
Kemudian Dengan Senang Hati ku Mengisi
Dengan Tarian Bunga Bakung.

Seven Parts Of Figurative Language
Imagery
Simile
Metaphor
Alliteration
Personification
Onomatopoeia
Hyperbole
A. SIMILE
A simile is used to compare two things using the words “like” and “as”.
Examples :
• “as dry as a bone”
• “as easy as shooting fish in a barrel”
• “they fought like cats and dogs”
b. Metaphor
• A metaphor sounds like a false statement, until you realize the similarities between the two things being compared
Ex:
• “time is money”
• “time is a thief”
• “you are my sunshine”
c. Alliteration
• In alliteration, the first consonant sound is repeated in several words.
Ex:
• “wide-eyed and wondering while we wait for others to waken”.
D. Personification
• Personification is giving human characteristics to objects, animals, or ideas. This can really add to a reader’s enjoyment of a poem as it changes the way he looks at things.
Ex:• “the sun played hide and seek with the clouds”• “the vines wove their fingers together to form
a braid”
(anggur menjalin jari-jari mereka bersama-sama untuk membentuk jalinan)
E. Onomatopoeia
• Onomatopoeia is the use of words that sound mimic sounds, or sound like what they mean. These add a level of reality to a poem. These can be words like: smash, wham, quack, meow, oink, whoosh, swish, zap, zing, ping, munch, gobble, and crunch.”
F. Hyperbole
• Hyperbole is a ridiculous exaggeration that can by funny and makes a point.
• Examples are: “I had to walk 15 miles to school in the snow, uphill” and “you could have knocked me over with a feather”.
