Rotary Dragon, I guess Tennyson is out, but I really liked that poem.



Right now I have "A Complaint" by Wordsworth just so I have a poem for right now. I haven't even read it.



What's this Ozymandius business about?



Thanks everyone for your help.



The Blue Bomber: What's the answer?

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,

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, the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandius, 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



I've got a limited edition print with part of Tynneson's poem on it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

But what does it all mean?

"Vanity! All is Vanity", cried the teacher - Ecclesiasties



In a nutshell Ozy was bragging about how powerful he was and how he stood over everything and yet thousands of years later no one knew his name or cared

Romantic? Let's see....





There once was a man from Nantucket

Whose dick was so long he could suck it

...





Ah, shoot. I forget the rest.

LMFAO.





Thanks a lot, I'll will put this poem to good use!
