| I met a traveller from an antique land, | ![]() | ||||
| Who said--"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone | |||||
| Stand in the desart....Near them, on the sand, | |||||
| Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, | |||||
| 5 | 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: | |||||
| 10 | 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." |
