monika ur O captain my captain reminded me of the other poem i like in that Dead Poet society movie...(im not really an poem appreciater but this one i really liked it a lot..:o).) O me! O life! 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. -WALT WHITMAN.
