“Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d 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.”
What will your verse be?
Walt Whitman – Leaves of Grass (1892)
PS – In loving memory of Robin Williams. A sensitive, solitary, joyful soul. Gone today, but not forgotten.
