What is the tone of “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth?

This poem has greatly affected my life. It taught me the
ability to take a 'word picture' of something that is special to me, and to be able to
remember it in great detail, in order to recall it & re-visualize it,
re-awakening the feeling evoked by the sight itself.

The tone to me,
is of:
'wonder' at the beauty of the vision of the daffodils,

'loneliness' at being alone wandering through the woods,

'awareness of beauty' at the vision of the rippling field of flowers,

'sharpness of sight' at the shock of the vastness of the surprising field of
blooms,
'poetic' at the sight of 'tossing their heads in sprightly dance',
and 'the waves beside them danced',
'nostalgia' in thinking back to the
feelings of awe at the sight,
'mind clarity and recall' when remembering the
beauty and feelings evoked by the experience.

Truly a poetic and
magnificent series of visualizations.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
