A mention of Robin Williams brings back the wonderful childhood memories given by the splendid actor. Mrs. Doubtfire and Jumanji! His performance in Dead Poets Society, has recently brought back the passion for poetry in me. RIP sir. `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?` - John Keating, Dead Poets Society
