Guest guest Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Organic Solutions Volume 1 – Issue 7 O D E Definitions Ode – Historically, an Ode was a poem that told a story and was meant to be sung. Ditties – Short little songs. Nineveh – An ancient city on the Tigris River destroyed in 612 BC. Mirth – Humor and Gaiety. Babel – Taken from “The Tower of Babel”. In the Bible, a tower that was built in an attempt to reach heaven. According to the Bible, God frustrated the project by confusing the languages of its builders so that they could not understand one another. Located in Babylon. O’erthrew – Overthrew. Introduction The following poem was written in 1874 by Arthur O’Shaughnessy and has always been one of my favorites. The message is timeless, and relevant to what is happening at the present. I’m especially fond of the last two lines which I consider show the character of a person. The choice is ours, whether to be stuck in the death throes of an old age, or to be joyously greeting a new dream with enthusiasm. O D E 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 forever it seems. With wonderful deathless ditties We build up the world’s great cities, And out of a fabulous story We fashion an empire’s glory: One man with a dream at pleasure, Shall go forth and conquer a crown; And three with a new songs measure Can trample an empire down. We, in the ages lying, In the buried past of the earth, Built Nineveh with our sighing, And Babel itself with our mirth; And o’erthrew them with prophesying To the old of the new world’s worth; For each age is a dream that is dying, Or one that is coming to birth...
