These 50 States: Kentucky
Posted in “…Weep no more my lady. Oh! Weep no more today!
We will sing one song for my old Kentucky home
For my old Kentucky home, far away…”
After a quick jaunt into the harsher climes of Big Sky country, I thought I would turn my attention to the Blue Grass state. This is the six in an ongoing series of posts about state shaped patches. Previous entries have covered state shaped patches from Montana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
When I heard the learn'd astronomer,
When the proofs, the figure, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and 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,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.
