Ozymandias
BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY
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,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that 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.”
It’s all love on this side of the table.

As an “ISTJ army” member, I don’t hate you. I love you. And the Ne conversations tickle my inferior function, so don’t worry about it. If we don’t want to listen, we don’t have to. But we do. :)
Enjoyed this podcast immensely. Explored the feelings of futility in life from many angles. Helpful to me as I experience a huge transition. Thank you.
