NB+Bright+star,+would+I+were+steadfast+as+thou+art-

The first line of the poem __Bright Star__ is "Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art-". I interpret that the poet is relating this star that is shinning so bright to a piece of art. I find that very poetic and different in a way, since a star and a piece of art are two very different objects not closely related. Although some people call something beautiful, a work of art as a metaphor. I think that is what the poet is trying to say in the poem with her relating the star to a work of art. A lot of people haven't seen a clear star because their hard to see within a city. A clear view of a star in the country or when it is pitch black out is by far the more beautiful thing I have ever seen, especially in a relaxing setting. I think that every city should have a star gazing night where all the lights are turned off so there is a clear view of all the stars. With that said, in the poem the bright star is related to a work of art because the poet is trying to describe his/her remembrance of seeing a sky full of stars.
