Nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked People will remember: - your vast and trunkless legs of stone - your frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command - your works, ye Mighty

Met die 'sneer of cold command' viel het trouwens wel mee. Toch een beetje de Mona Lisa van het oude Egypte, deze Turijnse Ramses. Maar ja, Shelley had überhaupt nog geen Ramsesbeeld gezien toen hij Ozymandias schreef, er alleen maar over gehoord. Fake news is van alle tijden...
