Walt Whitman poem, "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronmer," 1867:
 
       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.
