“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?”
