It is said that science murders of the beautyof art. By science discovery,
fantastic fairies are broke. But does science bring material wealthy?

Like many have said before me, I believe that Whitman is trying to
communicate the fact that the scientific process is inferior to a natural,
romantic, and personal interaction with the subject beings studied. (This
is pretty evident in the diction of the poem--how it changes...)

After I have read so many comments, a sentence from Keats comes into my
mind:"Beauty is truth, truth beauty"

reading this poem, i can see that the writer is trying to show the contrast
between the boredom being in the classroom, being lectured about the
"nature" to the amazemant actually go out there and being in it and feel it
by oneself.

astronomy looks at the stars from a scinetific point of view, from a
mathematical aspect; but Whitman, bored of the course he is taking at the
time, looked at the stars from such an aspect that he even wandered among
them...

stars which mean mathematical or astronomical themes to scientists,come to
mean as a tool of romance or emotions for the man of letters. this is the
issue here.

When you overanalyze something, looking too deep into the mysteries, it
seems to stop having all of its wonder until you can back up and look at it
again from the perspective of the innocently curious, not the one who wants
to know everything about it. Numbers mean nothing until you can take a step
back and say "Wow. That's beautiful. Let's leave it at that."
