What poems have appeared in the movie Dead Poets Society?
Song of Joy (Whitman) This scene is a perfect combination of sports and poetry. Everyone lined up and everyone had a piece of paper with a poem written on it. After reading a poem, they went to play football. This poem is taken from Whitman's Song of Joy in Leaves of Grass. The full text is long, and the following paragraphs are excerpted: the song of joy confronts powerful forces and bravely faces the enemy! Face them alone and see how much one person can bear! Face conflict, punishment, prison and people's hatred, climb the guillotine fearlessly and run for bullets! Become a real god! Ah, sailing in the sea! Leave this dead, unbearable land! Leave the boring streets, sidewalks and houses, leave the frozen land, get on board, sail, sail, sail! Ah, let my future life become a new happy song! Dance, clap your hands, exult, shout, jump, jump, roll, swing, be a sailor of the world, go to all the docks, be a boat, (watch me sail towards the sun and the sky), a fast-moving boat full of rich words and joy.
