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.' <br /> I never knew I was a musical instrument; but it's nice to be told these things, I suppose. <br /> An unacknowledged legislator of the world! <br />I feel so powerful! <br /> <br />(Friday,4th November,2005.)<br /><br />David Mitchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unacknowledged-legislators-of-the-world/
