Transcript:
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, WONDERFUL! GENIUS! BRILLIANT! CLAP SPLENDID! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! How soon unaccountable… F YOU CAN DO BETTER! EXAM 1 GRAVITATIONAL THEORY …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. - Walt Whitman

Even those who do need a break once in a while. This seems like a good way to remind yourself why you are studying astronomy.

I love looking at the stars. I also enjoy understanding them, or at least trying to. I find no conflict, nor even a necessary distinction, between the two. Mathematics is also beautiful, and intricately inseparable from life itself.
