1. Oh there is blessing in this gentle breeze,

A visitant that while it fans my cheek

Doth seem half conscious of the joy it brings

From the green fields, and from yon azure sky.

• Ans: These lines are taken from William Wordsworth’s The Prelude. The prelude is a long poem and its huge body has an epic form, lofty style and tone of moral seriousness. It is an autobiographical poem but only those episodes in poet’s life have been narrated which have something to do with his contact with nature and which cast a deep influence on him in as much as they shaped his mind and fostered its growth.
  
  

The ‘gentle breeze’, a ‘visitant’ coming from the ‘green fields’ and the ‘azure sky’, touches the cheek of the poet. It is more a spiritual touch than a physical one though the sense of physical comfort also conveyed.
