Yesterday someone showed me a bookmark with a quotation from Shelley: 'poets are the trumpets which sing to battle... poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.'
I never knew I was a musical instrument; but it's nice to be told these things, I suppose.
An unacknowledged legislator of the world!
I feel so powerful!
