L. Quintus Sertorius Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) An old favorite: "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 shatter'd visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things, The hand that mock'd 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." - Shelley. And also: "The King with half the East at heel is marched from lands of morning, His fighters drink the rivers up, their shafts benight the air; And him that stands will die for naught, and home there's no returning. The Spartans on the sea-wet rock sat down and combed their hair." - A.E. Housman And for a funny one, the last words of Vespasian - "Dear me! I think I'm becoming a god!"
