Carpe Diem lecture by Robin Williams as Prof. Keating in Dead Poets Society EDITED

“Carpe diem“ suggests Prof. Keating to his students in his first class with them (outside the classroom). He is citing Horatio Ode 1:1. “Carpe diem“ can be traslated as “pluck the day“. Pluck the day as you would pluck a flower. “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time“ is a 1648 poem by Robert Herrick. The first stanza reads: Gather ye Rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying: And this same flower that smiles to day, To morrow will be dying. From the Academy Award winning film, Dead Poets Society (1989). The video has been edited for brevity and intensity. All jokes have been removed. You can find the full version for instance here
