Title: 20 years after King Hussein leaves office... and Percy Bysshe Shelley is there
Post by: Big Dog on November 30, 2013, 07:34:55 PM

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said--"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert....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, and the heart that fed;
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, Ozymandias (1817)

Figured it had to be Ozymandias from the thread title.  Nicely sums up the ultimate futility and vanity of the Oministration.
