Near them, on the sand, ] Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, ] And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, ] Tell that its sculptor well those passions read ] Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, ] The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; ] And on the pedestal these words appear: ] "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: ] Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" ] Nothing beside remains. Round the decay ] Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare ] The lone and level sands stretch far away. " ] ] This poem makes me think of Saddam Hussein.. I wish it didn't but it makes me think of W. :( RE: Percy Bysshe Shelley: Ozymandias |
