i met a traveler from an antique land who said
two vast and trunkless baby seal leather boots lie in the desert,
near them, on the sand, half sunk, a shattered visage lies
whose frown, and petty gawk, and sarcastic pouting lips
tell that its sculptor well those passions read
which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things
the face that mocked them, and the heart that fed
and on the pedestal these words appear:
“NO MAIDENS?!?!?!”
nothing beside remains
round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
the lone and level sands stretch far away
this is such a touching story, truly one for the history books
