STANZA 2




The second stanza begins with the comparison between daffodils along the lake and stars in the Milkyway. The daffodils growing beside the lake seemed to form a never ending line. The daffodils were personified as human being "dancing" and "tossing" their heads. The personification continuos throughout to underline an inherent unity between man and nature

STANZA 3


In the third stanza, the poet brings in the waves waving in the lake. The poet says that the waves beside them danced; but they out-did the sparkling waves in glee.

He could not think what wealth of joy it brought to him.

STANZA 4


In the fourth and final stanza, the poet says that while sitting on his couch (a kind of bench) and in vacant (when he is idle) or in pensive mood (when he is sorrowful), the memories of those daffodils flash upon his inward eye i.e. his spiritual or the Romantic vision, this beautiful scene fills the poet mind with joy and make his heart to dance with the daffodils.

INVENTION OF STEAM ENGINE

  STEAM ENGINE . The steam engine was invented in the 18th century by British inventor James Watt. Watt's development of the steam engine revolutionized the way that work was done in factories, mills, and mines, and helped to drive the Industrial Revolution forward. Watt's steam engine was an improvement on earlier designs that were used primarily to pump water out of mines. Watt's engine used a separate condenser to cool the steam, which made it much more efficient than previous designs. He also developed a system of valves that allowed the engine to work automatically, without requiring constant monitoring. The steam engine was instrumental in transforming the world's economies and societies, enabling the production of goods on a massive scale and powering the development of new industries. It played a key role in the growth of the railway industry, as well as in the production of textiles, iron, and steel. Today, while the steam engine has been largely replaced by ot...

SOLAR SYSTEM PART I

Image
The solar system is the collection of celestial objects that orbit around the star called the Sun. It includes the eight planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), as well as their moons, dwarf planets (such as Pluto), asteroids, comets, and other small bodies. The solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a giant cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula. The Sun formed at the center of the nebula, while the planets and other objects formed from the leftover material that clumped together under the force of gravity. The eight planets in the solar system are divided into two groups: the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars), which are small and rocky, and the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), which are large and mostly made of gas and ice. There are also numerous moons orbiting the planets, with some of them being almost as large as planets themselves. Some of the notable moons include Jupiter's four Gal...
