My Name is Obamandias
« on: October 04, 2013, 08:12:27 AM »
Ozymandias


    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


2 Timothy 1:7
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power & of love and of calm, a well-balanced mind, discipline and self-control.

Shelley can be difficult to digest at times, supremely talented, but I like this selection.

"Obamandias"!  Heh! 
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
