While sorting through the things in one of our many moving boxes, I found a photocopy of a poem. I made the copy because a couple of the lines from this poem were used in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and I wanted to read the original verse. Here for your enjoyment is the best part of it.
From “Ode” by Arthur O’Shaughnessy–
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 for ever, it seems.
