Walt Whitman Quotes

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;
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.
