Do you know Walt Whitman's poem "When I heard the learn'd astronomer"?

(Anonymous) 2015-03-31 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
WHEN I heard the learn’d astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick; 5
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

Some people will never understand that those very proofs and figures and diagrams can give you joy too, once you know how to approach them.
