From
someone named Egriff commenting on an article in the Guardian about a
discovery in Egypt.
I
met a traveller from a Western land,
Who
said—“A vast and broken wall of stone
Stands
in the desert. . . . Near it, 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:
Behold
– this is Trump’s America;
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.”
