"On a Stupendous Leg of Granite, Discovered Standing by
Itself in the Deserts of Egypt, with the Inscription Inserted Below":

In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows.
"I am great Ozymandias," saith the stone,
"The King of kings: this mighty city shows
The wonders of my hand." The city's gone!
Naught but the leg remaining to disclose
The sight of that forgotten Babylon.
We wonder, and some hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when through the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the wolf in chase,
He met some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What wonderful, but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Horace Smith
