Angela & Uncle Jerry connect Taylor's statement in the Long Pond Sessions that she goes to the lakes 'in her head' to Wordsworth's poem about the daffodils (I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud), in which Wordsworth says whenever he is in pensive mood in the city, he thinks of the daffodils. Uncle Jerry says this echoes the Romantic tenet of the inward turning of the mind, both Taylor and Wordsworth revisit nature mentally when they cannot be there physically.
