Thank you for writing about this. I love Ozymandias, and it's always made me like Shelley far more than I otherwise could have, but for some reason I've never fully noticed all the different voices. You've made it come alive for me in a whole different way. Beautiful mini essay.

Have you heard Bryan Cranston as Walter White recite Ozymandias? Cool, very Todd Hido-esque (Todd Hido the American photographer) video with the natural beauty of New Mexico and the decay of Albuquerque.

Someone whose name I'm not remembering once described the ruin as the collaboration between human art and natural processes, or something to that effect.
