DREAMER AND DOER.

It’s easy enough, my friend to dream Of Utopian worlds afar; Where wealth and power and prowess gleam. Remote as the utmost star. Its’s pleasant enough in dreams to cloak The ugly, immediate fact — But the wise man knows that the dream’s a joke Till yoked with the will to act! For a dream’s a drug or a dream’s a goad, Whichever you choose- to make it. One man it speeds on the upward road; Another it lures to forsake it. For years unnumbered the seers have * told In saga and story and song Their marvellous dreams of an Age of Gold Washed clean of all grief an I wrong. And ninety-nine are with dreams coni tent. But the hope of the world made new Is the hundredth man who is grimly bent On making the dream come true; —By Ted Olson, in “Forbes Magazine. ’ ’
