Description

The inscription reads: 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 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: I am the Fallen King,
Kings 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.  "
