Ozymandias Flashcards
1
Q
I met a traveller from an antique land,
A
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
2
Q
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
A
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
3
Q
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
A
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
4
Q
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
A
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
5
Q
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
A
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
6
Q
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
A
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
7
Q
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
A
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
