O me! O life! of the questions of these recurring, / Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities filld 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 renewd, / 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, O Me! O Life! https://youtube/watch?v=eHZpA55AFcM
