Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Ozzy Mandius. I met a traveler from an antique land,
- 0:06Speaker 1: who said, two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand
- 0:11Speaker 1: in the desert. Near them, on the sand, half sunk,
- 0:16Speaker 1: a shattered visage lies, whose frown and wrinkled lip and
- 0:22Speaker 1: sneer of cold command tell that its sculptor well, those
- 0:26Speaker 1: passions read which yet survive. Stamped on these lifeless things
- 0:33Speaker 1: the hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
- 0:37Speaker 1: And on the pedestal these words appear. My name is
- 0:42Speaker 1: Ozy Mandius, King of Kings. Look on my works, ye, mighty,
- 0:48Speaker 1: and despair. Nothing beside remains round the decay of that
- 0:54Speaker 1: colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and lovell sands
- 1:01Speaker 1: stretch far away.
