Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy Quotes

«We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams. World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams. Yet we are movers and the shakers of the world forever it seems.»
«For each age is a dream that is dying,Or one that is coming to birth.»
«If you go over desert and mountain,Far into the country of Sorrow,To-day and to-night and to-morrow,And maybe for months and for years;You shall come with a heart that is burstingFor trouble and toiling and thirsting,You shall certainly come to the fountainAt length, -- to the Fountain of Tears.»
«One man with a dream, at pleasure,Shall go forth and conquer a crown;And three with a new song's measureCan trample an empire down.»
«Great hail! we cry to the comersFrom the dazzling unknown shore;Bring us hither your sun and your summers;And renew our world as of yore;You shall teach us your song's new numbers,And things that we dreamed not before:Yea, in spite of a dreamer who slumbers,And a singer who sings no more.»
«What man is able to masterAnd stem the great Fountain of Tears?»
«With wonderful deathless dittiesWe build up the world's great cities.»
