#shatter'd visage

[lotrmusical]

My high school did a yearly poetry recitation contest (Poetry Out Loud), so Oh Boy do I know some poems. My favorites are Ozymandias and "the world is about to end and my grandparents are in love," by Kara Jackson. Also in 8th grade we had a Poe unit and had a class contest to make the best music video of the Raven, so I still know a good chunk of that.

i hadn't heard of the kara jackson one! just read through it and enjoyed it, particularly these lines > 'grandma returns to her love like a hymn, marks it with a color. // when the world ends will it suck the earth of all its love? /will i go taking somebody’s hand, / my skin becoming their skin?'

"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". - Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a user from a cringe blog

Who said: Two vast and trunkless posts of bad takes

Stand in the site. Near them on the downward scroll,

Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose profile,frown

And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its poster well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless pages,

The hand that roasted they ass and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

"My name is deactivated , king of kings:

Look on my posts, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains: round the decay

Of that colossal blog , boundless and bare,

The lone and level posts stretch far away.
