William Wordsworth

He was one of the great British romantics, the poet of the dreamer, the wanderer, the oddball, the nature lover. His poetry was simple; he described ordinary events and people at a time when poetry was cerebral and stale. An example:
"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils."
