Right. Walt Whitman, American poet, also knew what Phaedrus knew:

"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;	         5
Till rising and gliding out, I wander´d off by myself,	 
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,	 
Look´d up in perfect silence at the stars"

Does the "learn'd astronomer" remind you of anyone?

Regards,
Platt.
