When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer by Walt Whitman (Poem #3)

I did not understand the poem much. I think the narrator learned about how one becomes an astronomer. He also learned things involved he had to study to do what he wanted to do, which was become an astronomer. After hearing about how difficult it was through the lecture he/she  listened to, and the math involved in astronomy, he/she grew sick and tired of trying to become one. He just like wandering around, looking up at the silence of the stars, instead of learning how to really study them. The narrator seemed to like the simplicity of the stars in the sky, not the complications in studying them to become an astronomer. The narrator did not enjoy learning the depth of astronomy, and did not seem to find it interesting in any way. The theme is that sometimes, we as humans, like things that are simple, and do not like the complications of the actuality of something. The narrator makes this clear by ending the poem with looking up at the stars, instead of talking about what he learned that day. He/she was so engrossed with the sky and stars that what he learned and heard at the lecture did not fascinate him, only the view did. The view is what seemed to push the narrator to want to become an astronomer, but when it came down to it, he did not enjoy learning about it’s specifications.Not everything is what he seems; the study of space was not just the view of the sky, but a very complicated study that the narrator was not anticipating.
