Carpe Diem

from Whitman
O me! O life! of the question of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless,
of cities fill'd with the foolish...
What good amid these O me, O life?

Answer
That you are here--That life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
KEATING in Dead Poet's Society
"That the powerful play goes on,
and you may contribute a verse."
What will your verse be?
