O me! O life!
O me! O life! of the questions of these recurring. Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill'd with the foolish, Of myself forever
reproaching myself, ( for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew'd. Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me, Of
the empty and useless years of the rest, with me intertwined, The question, O me! so sad recurring- What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer- That you are here... that life exsists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and
you may contribute a verse.
- Walt Whitman |
