                                               OZYMANDIAS

I met a traveller from an antique land                                                Encontrei um viajante de uma antiga terra
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone                              Que disse: Duas enormes pernas em pedra
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,                                    Erguem-se no deserto. Perto delas na areia jaz
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown                               Meio enterrada uma face mutilada exprimindo
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command                                   Desprezo e fria sobranceria,  mostrando
Tell that it's sculptor well those passions read                                 Que o escultor bem soube gravar essas paixões
Which yet survive, stamp'd on those lifeless things                          Que ainda sobrevivem nesses pedaços inertes,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.                        A mão que escarneceu , coração que alimentou
On the pedestal those words appear:                                                    No pedestal pode-se ainda ler :
“My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:                                             “O meu nome é Ozymandias, Rei dos Reis:
Look on my works, ye mighty   and despair!"                                       Contemplai as minhas obras ó poderosos         
                                                                                                                               E desesperai !"
Nothing beside remains: Round the decay                                            Nada mais resta: À volta deste colossal
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare                                         Destroço as vazias e planas areias
 The lone and level sands stretch far away.                                         Estendem-se a perder de vista.

Percy Bysshe Shelley - (1818)
