Saw a great ad from Apple this week and found it quite inspirational, something Apple have a habit of doing with their ads! It’s includes a quote from Walt Whitman and certainly drums up some unusual thoughts, contemplation and consideration of life.
Watch the Ad above or read it in quotes below:
What Will Your Verse Be?
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. And 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.”
What will your verse be?
