So many... but recently... Shelley, Ozymandias: I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,…
…its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these 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 Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.” — Percy…
Another reference is found in the epitaph, which quotes from Percy Shelley’s poem Ozymandias, the title and theme of the AMC series’ antepenultimate episode. Maybe I'm just being dense, but I don't see an epitaph in any of those photos.
"think it depicts Ramses II, Ozyamandias, the Great Ancestor—one of Egypt’s most famous and celebrated pharaohs." I was wondering if the Shelley Poem about Ozymandias was about this guy [1]. Except the sonnet talks about finding the civilization remains in the desert vs under a road. ...And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look…
……提到“Shelley”更可能是指 Mary 而不是 Percy Bysshe（《解放了的普罗米修斯》那位冷门作者）。这是个玩笑，或者至少是极度的夸张，对吧？我敢打赌读过《奥兹曼迪亚斯》（Ozymandias）的人比读过《弗兰肯斯坦》（Frankenstein）的多得多（这不公平，因为一篇只有一页，另一本有几百页，没错，但如果我们说的是被提及的频率），而且他的其他几首诗歌也经常出现，而很少……
…references to “Shelley” may more likely mean Mary than Percy Bysshe (the obscure author of Prometheus Unbound). This is a joke, or at least intense hyperbole, right? I'd wager way more people have read "Ozymandias" than Frankenstein (unfair because one's a page, and one's hundreds of pages, yes, but still, if we're talking frequency of mention) and several other of his verse works come up fairly often, while little…

太多了……不过最近的是……雪莱的《奥兹曼迪亚斯》（Ozymandias）：我遇见一位来自古老国度的旅人，他说：“有两根拔地而起的无身巨石巨腿，立在沙漠之中。在它们附近的沙地上，半陷着一张破碎的面孔，紧锁的双眉，……

……告诉那雕刻家，他读懂了那些激情，它们至今仍印在这些无生命的物件上，那嘲弄它们的手，和滋养它们的心；而在基座上，刻着这些话：我的名字是奥兹曼迪亚斯，万王之王；看看我的功业吧，强者们，绝望吧！此外别无他物。在那巨大残骸的废墟周围，无边无际、光秃秃的，孤独而平坦的沙砾伸向远方。”——Percy……

另一个致敬彩蛋在墓志铭里，引用了珀西·雪莱的诗《奥兹曼迪亚斯》（Ozymandias）——这也是 AMC 那部剧倒数第三集的标题和主题。可能是我太迟钝了，但我在那些照片里根本没看到什么墓志铭。

“认为它描绘的是拉美西斯二世（Ramses II），即奥兹曼迪亚斯（Ozymandias），那位‘伟大的先祖’——埃及最著名、最受尊崇的法老之一。”我之前还在想雪莱关于奥兹曼迪亚斯的那首诗是不是就是写这哥们的 [1]。只不过十四行诗里说的是在沙漠里发现文明遗迹，而不是在马路底下。……石座上刻着这样一行字：“吾乃奥兹曼迪亚斯，万王之王：看吧……
