O captain, my captain (Walt Whitman)
O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, 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.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
A sweaty- toothed madman (Todd Anderson in Dead Poets Society)
I close my eyes,
I see a sweaty- toothed madman,
His hands reach out to choke me.
And all the time he’s mumbling.
«Truth, truth is like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold; you push it, you stretch it, it’ll never be enough.»
«You kick at it, you beat at it, it’ll never cover any of us.»
«From the moment we enter crying, to the moment we leave dying, it will just cover your face as you wail and cry and scream.»
