i get it this is GBS and all our fuckin posts are poo poo worth preserving in some single run volume from some artisanal printer or however the gently caress poetry is published. but this thread is for the FUCKIN BIG DOGS. those motherfuckers whose words about things stood the test of goddamn TIME. here we got some SHELLEY to kick us off:
code:

Shelley's "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,
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."

i mean HOLY poo poo is that poignant or what

ANIME IS BLOOD posted:

Per me si va ne la cittą dolente,
per me si va ne l'etterno dolore,
per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore:
fecemi la divina potestate,
la somma sapienza e 'l primo amore.
Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create
se non etterne, e io etterno duro.
Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate

ran this thru google translate and got this:

code:

Los ntawm kuv txoj kev mus rau hauv kev txom nyem lub nroog,
rau kuv txoj kev mus rau lub nyob mus ib txhis mob ,
Los ntawm kuv txoj kev ntawm cov poob .
Kev ncaj ncees tsiv kuv siab tshaj :
Tsim kuv

so I am a little unclear at least? :confused:
