The Return of Ozymandias
I have just finished reinstalling Windows. Yay. My computer is 1337 fast again. Its so nice that I can shutdown, and bootup my system in under a minute. For a while, my laptop (700 mhz Pentium) was running faster. It was a dire insult to a machine that can run at 2.2 ghz.
But mighty Ozymandias has shed his burdon! Okay, so in the spirit of rebirth, I'll post his namesake below.
Ozymandias - Shelley
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.
