Darwin wrote:
] "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. "

] This poem makes me think of Saddam Hussein..
