The fact that there are so many songs on the Titanic cast recording with Thomas Andrews singing helps me such a great deal when I need to be inspired for this story. :) In every age mankind attempts To fabricate great works At once magnificent And impossible... On desert sands, from mountains of stone A pyramid! From flying buttresses alone A wall of light! A chapel ceiling Screaming one mans ecstasy! One mans ecstasy... Miracles them all! Chinas endless wall... Stonehenge, the Parthenon, the Duomo The aqueducts of Rome We did not attempt to make With mammoth blocks of stone A giant pyramid No, not a pyramid... Nor Gothic walls that radiate with light... Our task was to dream upon And then create A floating city! Floating city... A human metropolis... A complete civilization! Sleek! And fast! At once a poem And the perfection Of physical engineering... At once a poem And the perfection Of physical engineering.
