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?

DEAD POETS SOCIETY

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？
