they flash upon that inward eye
which is bliss in solitude

"Inward eye" is referring to Wordsworth, the poet, remembering seeing the daffodils swaying in the breeze. So, the inward eye is his memory. And the Title of the poem is "The Daffodils" not wandered lonely as a cloud.

The mind's eye, which permits one to "see" on the interior. you already know, "close your eyes and picture you're seeing {something}". therefore, he's imagining something that he really pronounced once, yet that would not might want to be the case. "it is the bliss of solitude" means that the finished excitement of being on my own is in being waiting to apply this "inward eye"--to daydream, basically.

Look here sonny boy. I had to memorise that whole poem when I was in school. I do not need the traumatising memories. Do your own homework

wandering lonely as a cloud....
makes me think of gently drifting in solitude.
inward eye....or minds eye?
makes me think of thought that are more spiritual (not necessarily religious)......reflecting upon personal things like life/school/ relationships etc...

Wordsworth is OK
Just think of him lying on his couch remembering those lovely daffs. We all daydream sometimes
