Dead Poets Society (1989) - What will your verse be?

My favourite scene in my favourite movie by my favourite actor: the meaning of life in a verse by Walt Whitman "That you are here, that life exists and identity, that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse".

Dead Poets Society (1989) directed by Peter Weir
with Robin Williams | Robert Sean Leonard | Ethan Hawke

WHAT WILL YOUR VERSE BE?
John Keating:

Words and language - no matter what anybody tells you - words and ideas can change the world.

I see that look in Mr Pitts' eye, like "19th century literature has nothing to do with going to business school or medical school", right? Maybe.

Mr Hopkins you may agree with him thinking "yes we should simply study our Mr Pritchard and learn our rhyme and meter and go quietly about the business of achieving other ambitions".

A little secret for you, huddle up. Huddle up!

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
