This post's title does not refer to my blog, but rather reminds us of today's poem Ozymandias By Percy Bysshe Shelley. It is one that is often studied in school and is probably familiar. The web has some interesting discussion about what inspired it and the fact that it was part of a competition between two authors.
My family spent lived for a time in Egypt and we were able to visit the pyramids and monuments at Aswan, Luxor, and Alexandria. The poem captures the juxtaposition of impressiveness and decay, not to mention the sand.
Enjoy
