The Learn'd Astronomer

Book

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 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,

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.

[Walt Whitman's When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer, while only one stanza, neatly encapsulates the author's disdain for the scientific overanalysis of nature's beauty.]

The easiest way to get The Learn'd Astronomer is to buy it from vendors like Rosa Newill in Volii or Amoli Bava in Alpha Centauri.
