We are the creators of music

And we are the dreamers of dreams

Wanderers for lonely breakers

And sitting along desolate streams

We lose the world, we abandon it

Under the pale moonlight

And yet we make it move, the world.

We're the ones who are perpetually agitating him, so it seems...


Arthur O'Shaughnessy, Ode, 1873
