We don't read and write poetry because it's 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?

我们读诗、写诗，不是因为诗好玩，而是因为我们是人类的一员，而人类是充满激情的。医学、法律、商业、工程，这些都是崇高的追求，对于维持生命是必不可少的。但诗歌、美、浪漫和爱，才是我们活着的意义。惠特曼曾写道：“啊，自我！啊，生命！这些问题循环往复，没有信念的人川流不息，城市充斥着平凡愚昧，生活在其中有什么意义？啊，自我！啊，生命！”答案是，因为你在这里，生命和身份有了意义，伟大的戏剧还在上演，而你可以贡献一句诗。因为伟大的戏剧还在上演，而你可以贡献一句诗。你的诗是什么？
