Percy Bysshe Shelley
1 quote attributed to Percy Bysshe Shelley.
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.
— Shelley on Ozymandias and the sands · c. 1818 · Ozymandias (lines 10-14), published 1818 in The Examiner
