As for 'speak a few reasonable words:
On Being Poetic:
Let me tell you a secret. 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 reace, is filled with passion. Laws, medicine, (etc)…. these are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love…. these are what we stay alive for.
(said John Keating, played by Robin Williams, in Dead Poets Society - screenplay by Tom Schulman)
