Percy Bysshe Shelley (来源:英语学习门户网站EnglishCN.com)
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.
