we are the music makers

one of my favorite lines from "willy wonka and the chocolate factory" circa 1971.

its source is a poem by arthur o'shaughnessy circa 1874:

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.

This is my absolute most favorite line from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." I recently discovered that it is a quote from a poem by Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy:

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.
