PERSONAL STATEMENT...
We are the music makers
And we are the dreamers of dreams
Wandering past the lone sea-breakers
And sitting by desolate streams.
World losers and world forsakers
On whom the pale moon gleams,
But we are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever, it seems.
-Written by some poet whose name I forgot.
