_Ozymandias

Using the sonnet by Percy Bysshe Shelley (as read by Sir Arthur John Gielgud), as a framework, I am currently self-producing a fully animated short film about a post-human world.

Here, I am imagining the legacy we will leave behind, and the ultimate consequences of our current ideals and values.

_Poem Text

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:
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.”
