A Poem for those Freepers lurking among us
Ozymandias

I met a traveler 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 shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed,
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look upon 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
1792-1822

3. Nice; here's another good one:
"To conceive extravagant pretensions from success in war is to forget how hollow is the confidence by which you are elated. For if many ill-conceived plans have succeeded through the still greater fatuity of an opponent, many more, apparently well laid, have on the contrary ended in disgrace." Thucydides

5. I think O'Reilly recited that poem on his show last night...
Oh, wait, he paraphrazed a little and said:

"Like Percy Bysshe Shelley said in his poem Ozymandias in 1819, 'Kerry lied, vote Bush'. As you can see, alive or dead, the outcome of this election has been predicted by even the most staunch liberal from a very long time ago people!"
