Walt Whitman and Mozart

There's been so much death and bad news of late it's advisable to take some moments in your day to admire art to help keep sane. I suggest poetry, classical music, and herbal tea. 
O Me! O Life!

BY WALT WHITMAN

​Oh me! Oh 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 the rest me intertwined,

The question, O me! so sad, recurring—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.
