Ozymandias
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, and wrinkled lip,
Percy Bysshe Shelley
and sneer of cold command,
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
And on the pedestal these words appear —
Percy Bysshe Shelley
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
Ozymandias
