CARPE DIEM
I was watching one of my favourite movie - “The Dead Poets Society” again yesterday. There was one scene touched my heart.
CARPE DIEM
CARPE DIEM is a short pharse in Latīna, meaning seize the day. Robin Williams is a high school poet teacher. He tried to explain this phase in his class. Every word of these lines are so beautiful!
Because we are food for worms
Because believe it or not, each and every one of us is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold and die
Same haircuts, full of hormones, just like you
Invincible, just like you feel
The world is their oyster
They believe they are destined for great things
Just like many of you
Their eyes are full of hope, just like you
Did they wait until it was too late to make from their life even one iota of what they were capable?
Because you see, gentleman,
These boys are now fertilizing daffodils
In memory of Robin Williams, the figure which he built in Dead Poets Society will live forever.
