Dead Poets Society
Man’s spirit will be flesh-bound, when found at best,
But úncúmberèd: meadow-dówn is nót distréssed
For a ráinbow fóoting it nor hé for his bónes rísen.
— The Caged Skylark,
Gerard Manley Hopkins,
Society of Jesus
In accordance with this sentiment,
this midnight in the garden of good and evil
is the occasion for a change of site music
to ”Skylark,” by Hoagy Carmichael
(lyrics by Johnny Mercer).
