| A few of the Greatest Poems |
| NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. Robert Frost |

| OZYMANDIAS I met a traveler from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the dessert....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 those 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 W orks, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that collossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away." Percy Bysshe Shelly |
