Heres a virtual movie of Percy Bysshe Shelley reading his great poem bemoaning the futility of seeking immortality through material things.In this case "Ozymandias" the title of this poem an ancient Egyptian King's effigy is laid waste to crumble into the sand for time has no regard for fickle mortal status. This amazing Poem Animation is Set to music by my brilliant Cornish electro musical composer pal William Beatty aka Wilpawa and is read by me Jim Clark.Kind RegardsJim ClarkAll rights are reserved on this video sound recording copyright Jim Clark 2008I met a traveller from an antique landWho said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stoneStand in the desert. Near them on the sand,Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frownAnd wrinkled lip and sneer of cold commandTell that its sculptor well those passions readWhich 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 decayOf that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,The lone and level sands stretch far away.
