My Second Favorite Poem Is Ozmandias

You all know it, or you SHOULD!
Thanks to HERO PRESS for reminding me about how much I love this poem. It's also short enough to memorize like Kublai Khan by Coleridge.



I read all about Coleridge and this poem in my favorite book.




I even have this pop-up book.

"Ozymandias" is one of my favourite poems too, and its sentiments are as valid today as when Keats first wrote the words. As for poor old Samuel Coleridge, he suffered hugely in later life from his opium addiction. Opium constipates something terrible and he was almost constantly bunged up to the point of agony.

Thanks for the mention of HeroPress, Cal.

Isn't it great that we're bringing a big of culture to our benighted corner of the Internet? More, I say!

Well as educated gentlemen it's sorta our duty to bring class to the masses.
