We Are The ...One of my favorite poems of all time:<br /><br />We Are The Music-Makers<br />We are the music-makers, <br />And we are the dreamers of dreams, <br />Wandering by lone sea-breakers, <br />And sitting by desolate streams. <br />World-losers and world-forsakers, <br />Upon whom the pale moon gleams; <br />Yet we are the movers and shakers, <br />Of the world forever, it seems. <br /><br />With wonderful deathless ditties <br />We build up the world's great cities, <br />And out of a fabulous story <br />We fashion an empire's glory: <br />One man with a dream, at pleasure, <br />Shall go forth and conquer a crown; <br />And three with a new song's measure <br />Can trample an empire down. <br /><br />We, in the ages lying <br />In the buried past of the earth, <br />Built Nineveh with our sighing, <br />And Babel itself with our mirth; <br />And o'erthrew them with prophesying <br />To the old of the new world's worth; <br />For each age is a dream that is dying, <br />Or one that is coming to birth.<br /><br />by Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessyrchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390033530066470195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19075512.post-29862539800858696052016-08-06T20:06:55.303-07:002016-08-06T20:06:55.303-07:00I've wondered some of the same sometimes.
