    One of the most striking elements in Whitman’s work is figurative language, which is evident in When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer.

The speaker in the poem is also a representation, one of those who refuse to let figures and measurements cloud their views at that which cannot be explained or quantified, and the stars image nature’s inscrutability and obscurity.…

    Noise. The dull roar that gave way to the cacophonous din that swirled within my ears. Or maybe more specifically, it was the lack of said noise that reigned around me and the profound silence that held me prisoner in my own body. All my thoughts were running wild causing what seemed like a discordant orchestra, each seeking to be recognized over my most prevalent fearful thought: “Somebody help!”…
