I must say, im a big fan of Walt Whitman. Ever seen the film "Dead Poets Society" with Robin Williams as an English teacher, in, i think, 50's America? Wonderful film.
I know i must be careful not to stray to far from thread theme, but heres a favourite Walt Whitman of mine:
O Me! O Life! - Walt Whitman
O Me! O life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill'd with the
foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I,
and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the
struggle ever renew'd,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see
around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me
intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring-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.
How about that for a final verse? Such power, i love it. I considered having this as my BF signature, but thought the one i chose to be more apt.
