Ozymandias av Percey Bysshe Shelley är en mycket välkänd dikt (sonett) från 1818. Dina två bibliotekarier tar sig an den, romantikens mysterier och huruvida vi är avundsjuka eller inte på rika brats på 1800talet. OzymandiasI met a traveller from an antique land,Who said—"Two vast and trunkless legs of stoneStand 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 readWhich 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 decayOf that colossal Wreck, boundless and bareThe lone and level sands stretch far away." #romantik #poesi #dikt #sonett #poem #shelley #ozymandias
