I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said:-Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert.

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. (Percy Bysshe Shelley)
