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, Music and Moonlight, 1874
