This poem " When I heard the Learn'd Astronomer " has many deep meanings with structural things as well. For example, you can see that lines 1-4 are directly related to lines 4-8. In other words 4-8 are describing what's happening in lines 1-4. Also, in lines the lines getting longer and longer. So the second lines in longer than the first, the third is longer than the second, and the four the is longer than the third. Maybe that is to show how the narrator is getting more and more complex and into detail. For the meaning of the poem, I believed that this is about someone who wanted to experience. people need to separate themselves in order to gain experience in life. People need to become individuals and not rely on other people. I think this poem does a great job in showing that. For the structural part of the poem, Whitman does a great job in doing a lot of different stuff. For example, there is a lot of alliteration in it. The line with " the **d**iagrams, to add, **d**ivide", "  How **s**oon unac**c**ountable I be**c**ame tired and **s**ick", "    **s**ilence at the **s**tars", "   **m**ystical **m**oist" all are examples of it. There is a lot of repetition when in each line it would put "When I".
