This is one of my favorite poems
W[size=-1]HEN[/size] I heard the learnd astronomer;[size=-2] [/size]When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;[size=-2] [/size]When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;[size=-2] [/size]When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,[size=-2] [/size]How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;[size=-2][/size]Till rising and gliding out, I wanderd off by myself,[size=-2] [/size]In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,[size=-2] [/size]Lookd up in perfect silence at the stars.
