Ozymandias
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.”
“Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde”
Beware of the anger of a patient man.
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.
He is VERY fortunate that Only One did not pull out a gun and shoot him to death!
OK, the guy was obviously endangering the ENTIRE community. I can’t understand why the Hero didn’t shoot him before letting him run amuck/into the cowering in place defenseless sheeple. sarc off.
never send a fat cop to a knife fight [or jogging]
Given that this incident took place on a beach, does that make the cop a Sandman?
It’s not Chariots of Fire, but somehow it seems appropos…
Shame on that “cop” for even attempting to go after the citizen.
