Reread lines 1–5. What is the speaker’s viewpoint on the astronomy lecture?

The speaker says he becomes “tired and sick” while listening to proofs, figures, charts, and measurements of the stars. This shows that the lecture’s focus on mechanical calculations does not satisfy him. The large crowd and a stuffy room are not mentioned, and the applause comes from the audience rather than expressing the speaker’s viewpoint.
