उत्तर
'We are the Music Makers' is a delightful poem highlighting the importance of artists. The poet encourages all to dream like artists who shape new worlds using their imagination and vision. They play the role of the predictors as well as the creators of glorious new futures. In other words, they are "the movers and shakers" of history. Thus, they connect art to human progress. Two striking examples are given by the poet to show how they justify these titles. Immortal songs created by the artists' souls are capable of building and rebuilding new cities, and new civilisations by instilling progressive thoughts, realisations and transformation in people's minds. Similarly, out of a fantastic myth, they can mould or recreate a glorious empire. Proudly, they can proclaim that in the past they, "Built Nineveh with our sighing,/ And Babel itself with our mirth;" It is ultimately the poems, stories, paintings and other forms of art that define the glory of civilisation. In fact, it is the artistic achievements of an empire that marks its greatness. By inspiring to build and rebuild, these movers and shakers shape the present and the future.
