“O Captain, my Captain. Who knows where that comes from? Anybody? Not a clue? It’s from a poem by Walt Whitman about Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Now in this class you can either call me Mr. Keating, or if you’re slightly more daring, ‘O Captain my Captain.’” - John Keating, Dead Poets Society
Today we say bye O captain my captain to Robin Williams.

Grandpa at the temple
