We are the music makers,

And we are the dreamers of dreams,

Wandering by lone sea-breakers,

And sitting by desolate streams;—

On whom the pale moon gleams:

Yet we are the movers and shakers

Of the world for ever, it seems.

Thank You; those are the sort of things that I was looking for.

And, thank you for including statuary; another thing that I should include in my list, is the Adams Memorial by St. Gaudens, in Washington, DC.

My father attended the church where the statue is, when he first came to DC from Virginia, as a boy in the early years of the 20th century. The statue is a big memory in our family; and it’s a very misunderstood work of art.

When you sit in front of this statue, there is nothing but peace in your mind and heart. It’s beautiful.
