From Percy Bysshe Shelley:
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 wrinkeled 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 pedastal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king 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.

Paid for by suckers filling their car up to get to work, so they can pay for the gas to put in their car, to get to work.

Big deal. I peed and wrote my name in the snow at Chicago and you could read it from the second floor.

Good for him.
It’s his money and it looks like he’s having legitimate fun with it.

We all (us guys) “wrote” our names in the snow sometime before puberty. Then we grew up. I guess wealthy desert dwellers feel a bit inadequate.
