Poem: When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer

In this poem, one can understand the wonder of the universe by viewing it through personal experience.  The author feels as though you can only learn so much from text books and technology, but there is nothing like actually experiencing nature and the universe in person.  I agree to an extent with the author.   We do learn a lot from the internet and through reading texts, but I feel that you can never truly capture the feeling of something until you  experience  it in person.  You can read about how beautiful the sunset is and be descriptive with the colors and what not, but there is nothing like actually seeing the beauty with your own eyes.

-Daniella B. Period 3
