We dont read and write poetry because its cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled 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. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? - Robin Williams (John Keating - Dead Poets Society 1989) O captain my captain... Robin Williams was a true legend. A man not only supremely talented but possessed with a maniacal energy that truly brought his characters to life. It was both a pleasure and an honor to watch him perform and we at MTTN considered him an idol like no other. He shall be missed. Heres to the captain!
