Read and analyze "When I heard the Learn'd Astronomer" by Walt Whitman. What Romantic ideas does it express, and how does the st

ructure of the poem reinforce the meaning?
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 the 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,
mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

He shows that just being educated and knowing how things work does not mean that you truly and deeply understand and enjoy nature. Scientific explanations remove the magic that nature can have and explaining a star can never be as great as observing stars during a night. That is what Whitman is trying to say.

Read the sentence from "the masque of the red death." what does the word revel mean? And the revel went whirlingly on, until at
Greeley [361]

a. Wild celebration

A revel is a wild celebration. Your context clue here is the detail that it went "whirlingly on". This gives the image that things are spinning and it is something that could end at midnight. An party hat doesn't end at midnight. A type of dance is something that can spin, but it usually doesn't continue on until midnight. A specific dance type usually only last for a few minutes. An appearance does not make sense.
