Single cloud runs

A beautiful blue sky day at the beginning of spring.  Whilst gazing out of the window of the truck, the passenger switches on her camera phone to film her view of a single cloud running parallel to the undulating green hills.  The driver notices and slows down for a longer shot until he comes to a junction and needs help with the view of the traffic, he laughs and says 'we can't have you filming clouds all day now can we!'

 

 

 

Scientific reference for such clouds 'Cumulus Humilis'.  Humilis meaning in Latin:

Adjective

humilis (neuter humile); third declension

  1. low, lowly, small, slight; shallow

  2. (in respect to birth, fortune or worth) base, mean, humble, obscure, poor, needy, insignificant, low

  3. (of mind or character) submissive, abject

 

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

By William 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 but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

 

For oft, 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.
