Bushymandias

The inestimable Pat Oliphant wages poetic.

This cartoon has disappeared but you can follow this link to see the current Oliphant cartoon.

And the inestimable P. B. 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 shatter’d visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command…

The little duck says “Look on my works ye Bushy and despair.”

Thanks to Poppysmatus for the nudge.
