beautiful words..

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.
~ Arthur O'Shaughnessy
from Music and Moonlight

I loove this quote. For me it seems to describe artists everywhere.We can be the creative and the destructive, the loved and the hated, the most famous yet the most lonely, but we can also be the ones who shape people's thoughts and feelings, move them to tears with a song, inspire them with a painting, incite their sense of justice with a well written story... "We can be the movers and shakers.. of the world forever it seems..."
