218->''I met a traveller from an antique land\
219Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone\
220Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,\
221Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,\
222And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,\
223Tell that its sculptor well those passions read\
224Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,\
225The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:\
226And on the pedestal these words appear:\
227"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:\
228Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"\
229Nothing beside remains. Round the decay\
230Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare\
231The lone and level sands stretch far away.''
