Apple's eerbetoon aan Robin Williams

Met de tekst uit de film Dead Poets Society:

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?

12 augustus tweette Apple's cmo Phil Schiller deze online tribute.

Het zwart-wit design van de uiting doet denken aan Apple's commercial van de ‘Crazy Ones’.

Een mooi eerbetoon.
