Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back

She hid it 'round corners and she hid it under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

After reading the poem "O Me! O Life!" by Walt Whitman, I more clearly see a different perspective on life. Whitman explains in the poem how in life you may be surrounded by "foolish" people, and you may or may not be the same as them, just a person who wants to get more out of life then what you are getting right now. This poem relates greatly to the movie "Dead Poets' Society" in the way it explains the characters. The main character in the film has very strict parents who do not permit him to go outside his comfort zone and try new things, which relates to the poem by Whitman. Neil wants to get more out of life than what his dad wants and he believes that his verse will be taking up his love for acting. Even though in the end his verse does not work out, he still decided to go ahead and "crave the light" he desires. I believe that Whitman is correct and that people should never be treated the way Neil was treated in the film. Anyone should be able to be who they want to be and express themselves without feeling judged by anyone.

Oh goodness! I say as I hold on to my minuscule cage,
Oh This prison in my hand blinds my eyes,
Oh how it leaves me captured as I grow in age
Oh I will never leave, it will not permit me,
Oh I am bounded by its chains,
Oh there may be nothing else to see

Oh such beauty surrounding my restricted soul,
Oh yet my brain is trapped,
Oh in this desolate digital atmosphere
Oh nothing else but beeping to hear
Oh god I wish I could be released,
Oh to enjoy your creation,
Oh way before I become Deceased

The quote that seemed to stand out to me the most from this excerpt was the quote stating "The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and heart of the child."

The quote that stood out to me the most in this excerpt is the quote stating "When sometimes I am reminded that the mechanics and shopkeepers stay in their shop not only all the forenoon, but all afternoon too, sitting with crossed legs, so many of them- as if the legs were made to sit upon, and not to stand or walk upon- I think that they deserve some credit for not having all committed suicide long ago."
