Random Poem of the Day
1When I heard the learn'd astronomer,
2When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
3When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
4When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
5How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
6Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself,
7In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
8Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.
