“We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,”

Arthur O'Shaughnessy Ode

Music and Moonlight (1874), Ode
Context: 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.
