"O Me! O Life!" written by Walt Whitman
Original: www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/...
原文：
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.
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?
