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.
—— Ode by Arthur O'Shaughnessy
我们是音乐的创造者,
我们是做梦的梦想家,
徜徉在孤独的海浪旁,
停坐于荒凉的溪流边;
置身世外,恍如隔世,
惨淡的月色照在身上:
然而,我们永远都是
惊天动地的人们。
—— 《颂歌》 阿瑟·奥肖内西
