Summary of the poem: The speaker of this poem describes listening to a learned astronomer lecture. He sees proofs and figures in columns before him, as well as charts and diagrams that he is supposed to analyze mathematically. He gets sick of the mathematics and charts, and goes out and looks at the night sky.

Whitman is saying that the true way to understand nature is not scientific but intuitive and mystical. The poet can feel and understand the processes of nature when he is experiencing them, but listening to people lecture about them merely makes him "tired and sick."

Does Marita bargain have a political message
NeX [460]
Yes the fact that is in a poor neighborhood, and its students are largely from financially disadvantaged families and members of racial minorities shows that the political situation must not be very good, due to the fact that these people are not getting what they need. This has a lot to do with laws and programs passed from government. With help from a stable, good political system, it will affect people's lives
