Of ownership — as if one fit to own things could not at pleasure enter

upon all, and incorporate them into himself or herself;

Of vista — suppose some sight in arriere through the formative chaos,

presuming the growth, fulness, life, now attain’d on the journey,

(But I see the road continued, and the journey ever continued;)

Of what was once lacking on earth, and in due time has become

supplied — and of what will yet be supplied,

Because all I see and know I believe to have its main purport in

what will yet be supplied.

When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer

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,

How soon unaccountable 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.
