In the poem “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer”‚ by Walt Whitman‚ the speaker “[becomes] tired and sick” of the learned astronomer’s “proofs‚ [and] figures” used to observe the stars. While the others attending the lecture applaud the astronomer for his approach to the stars‚ the speaker‚ however‚ exits the lecture hall to enjoy the stars in his preferred method of going outside in the “perfect silence”.

found the poem “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” by Walt Whitman interesting. The poem was straightforward for the most part so I found it easier to read than many of the other poems.

Emily Dickinson was a fantastic writer in her time and one of the reasons she was such a renowned poet was her poem “I Died for Beauty but Was Scarce.” The poem has a certain gloomy feeling to it‚ and impacts the readers with its use of familiar form‚ morbid syntax‚ and the lovely allegory. This poem follows many of Dickinson’s typical formal patterns—the ABCB rhyme scheme‚ the rhythmic use of the dash to interrupt the flow—but has a more regular meter‚ so that the first and third lines in each
