Carpe Diem


dead_poets_society.jpg - Escutei essa poesia pela primeira vez no Dead Poets Society. Aquele filme significou para a minha - então sendo desenvolvida - visão da educação.

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship was weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyesthe steady kelel, the vessel grim and daring;
            But O heart! heart! heart!
                O the bleeding drops of red,
                  Where on the deck my Captain lies,
                  Fallen cold and dead.


Walt Whitman - O Captain! My Captain!
