I am not just a fantasy

I am not just a fantasy,
I am not just poetry,
I am not just a soul,
but behind me will come power,
conceived from my words.

I will die, and disappear
into the fog of your dreams;
but in my children
I will be reborn by endeavour—
and live again forever.

Stanisław Wyspiański (1869-1907)
