Would Herschel envy me?
The world's books at a few keystrokes,
and excellent calculations.
Spacecraft imagery and
photographic portraits
adorning my office,
an electric kettle
to offer him tea
while we listen to a recording
of his symphony 17 in C major.
Or would he watch
as I slog through spam
and don't listen to telecons,
multi-tasking
and struggling to find time
to write
to observe
and much rather find himself
in the Bath?
