"We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams; -
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever, it seems.'
Arthur O'Shaughnessy, "Ode"

... thank you. I honestly had no idea that the full quote even existed, and the first two lines are among *my* favorite quotes to live by. (From Willy Wonka -- one of the few custom buttons I've ever commissioned.)

That's not the full quote; that's the first verse. :) The whole thing is nine verses, and just keeps getting more gorgeous....

Elegant and powerful poetry, and spells out the idea much more deeply than I had realized -- this definitely goes onto my favorites list, and is going to occasion much reflection. Thanks much...
