So beautiful...


 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, 1st stanza from his poem Ode, 1874


If you think that the first two lines sound familiar, they are quoted in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory when Veruca is being particularly irritating...
