We don&#039;t read and write poetry because it&#039;s cute. <br /> We read and write poetry because we are members <br /> of the human race. And the human race is filled with <br /> passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, <br /> these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. <br /> But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we <br /> stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, &quot;O me! O life!... <br /> of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains <br /> of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good <br /> amid these, O me, O life?&quot; Answer. That you are here - that <br /> life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and <br /> you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* <br /> and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? <br /> <br /> -Dead Poets Society<br /> 1989
