My wrinkled name is Ozymandias
And I met the mighty,
whose boundless visage stretch the level desert.
Tell them well, those which look in trunkless sands,
that ye frown on these words and sneer on the land,
and that the King read nothing and Kings said things:
these appear near the remains from vast decay,
beside them works that sunk far away
fed on lies that yet survive.
A stamped traveler
who shattered my heart and passions
mocked an antique sculptor -
its lifeless hand on the lip of sand,
and cold pedestal on the wreck of command
and Despair! -
Two round legs
and half of a lone colossal stone
stand bare.
