INSTRUCTIONS: Choose a favorite poem. Now go out and take a photo to accompany every line. All the photos must be original, and they must not have been taken before reading this task description.

When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer. By Walt Whitman.

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

Thanks - I love dear ol' Walt as well! I've made reading from his anthology a part of my daily routine.
