What we choose to read shapes the way we see the world — words on a wall can be more than decoration; they can be reminders, questions, sparks.

“When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” — Walt Whitman
Published in 1865, this poem contrasts analytical knowledge with direct experience. Whitman describes listening to a scientific lecture on the stars, then quietly stepping outside to look at the night sky himself. In a few simple lines, he captures his belief that truth is not only found in charts and numbers, but in the feeling of wonder — the kind that comes from seeing the universe with your own eyes.
