Well there literally goes my childhood. See? It's gone. Bye!
On August 11th, 2014, Robin Williams died.
I'm still in shock by this well, half shock half in disbelief. I will say this much before I go to watch Mork and Mindy.
Mr. Williams was a very important figure in many childhoods including my own. My heart goes out to his family and friends during this hard and difficult time. It won't be the same without him, it might never will, but his life is forever immortalize in his work which I will gladly watch without hesitation.
Goodbye Robin Williams. Goodbye My Captain.
O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! My Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
