SELECTED POSTS
This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is
actually the index page of this website has
grown into a huge database of my almost
daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to
my heart, including gossips of the most
sordid kind. For your convenience, I have
posted a list of posts which I thought is
pretty informative in my own way that you
might find interesting. The list itself may
be long but those selected few are the ones
I thought drives home the point I wanted to

MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].
SERIES' SUMMARIES
Sometime in 2004 I began
reviewing selected
series in an episode by
episode way, where I
called these reviews
EPISODIC THOUGHTS.
These thoughts are
mostly summaries of each
and every episode with
my opinion of that
episode included in it
as well. I may not
provide the most in
depth summaries but I am
very proud of the fact
that I could keep the
writing on such a long
winded basis each and
every night for the
entirety of the series.
I don't do this for each
and every series though
because it kills a lot
of brain cells, mine as
well as fellow netizens
who often joined in the
discussion by posting
informative stuff. These
thoughts are still open
for feedback and
discussion. Do check
them all out in
REVIEWS where it is
indicated with an
[E]
next to my name.

section in here that
features offbeat stuff

Simplest pleasures in life
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
I was reading Pearl's post on the importance of listening to others and suddenly this poem flashed in my mind...
The Daffodils
by Williams Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er 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.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out - did the sparkling waves in glee.
A poet could not be but gay.
In such a jocund company;
I gazed - and gazed - but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought;
For often when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
There is a connection. As Pearl talked about the importance of listening to others, I realise the receiver may have received the simplest pleasure in life. I first read this poem when I was travelling in the LRT, there was a notice board and there was this poem. I envisioned myself as the poet, walking past the beautiful daffodils giving no thought to it, and yet when I am all alone, sitting in quiet contemplation of what I did for the day, all my troubles went away as I remembered the beautiful dancing daffodils. I actually didn't know what the author was trying to convey, but that was what I thought he tried to convey. I asked my sister, an English literature graduate and she was amazed I understood what the author meant. I hope she was right. And I realise, maybe the author was trying to tell us to appreciate the simplest pleasures in life..for some it is being able to voice their opinion, to others, maybe being listened to, some may feel a hug will suffice, others maybe a good meal or a good TV show. There are many who may think about money being the greatest pleasure in life, I admit that too but money alone is not the pleasure in itself. It is the ability to buy your favourite chair, go to your favourite vacation, buy that apartment, these are the pleasures in life. Sadly, most of these can only be achieved by having money.
But yet, please do listen, isn't life's simplest pleasure is going home and knowing you're not alone? That you have someone waiting for you, who worries about you, who fuss about you, who gives you his or her attention and you know, when at home you can relax and talk to that person and listen to this person talk? Maybe your husband or wife? Your mother or siblings? I have never admitted this to my family, we are not an affectionate type of Asian family, we don't go around hugging and saying I Love Yous. I still can't do that. But I realise, at this age of mine, all these years, my simplest pleasure in life is my mother and my two sisters. Whenever we sit at the dinner table, my mother would curse that "you talk too much, eat and stop talking!" and yet we talk, about gossips, politics, everything. Maybe not about really personal stuff but rather chit chatting. But to me that is more than enough. And in that sense my 3 best friends also must count as my simplest pleasure in life. I have very few friends as I make not effort in maintaining friendships or making news ones. Those I have I had known for at least a decade. I have been rather bitchy to them lately and I realise I may be losing my simplest pleasure in life you know but they know me long enough to know it was a passing phase. And in the Internet, my simplest pleasure is meeting net friends and exchanging lively discussions.
I guess Pearl is right. At the end of the day, it is about listening and being listened to and I venture to complete her sentence, it is also about sharing, any part of you, however little. Maybe then there will be less sorrow.
I love this poem. And if my sister got it wrong, she really should burn her degree!
I will be posting some of my favourite poems these few days since I have been talking about TV shows, books, series, etc, now it is time to talk about poems. I generally dislike poems except for those few, The Daffodils being one of my favourite after having to stare at it for 20 minutes during my LRT travelling. I love the poetic prose of it and I could almost see daffodils dancing!
Do you have any favourite poems? Do share with me and share with me your interpretation of the above poem.
