Ozymandias Legs 2, Amarillo, Texas
The plaque reads...
"In 1819, while on their horseback trek over the Great Plains of New Spain, Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife Mary Shelley (author of 'Frankenstein'), came across these ruins. Here Shelley penned his immortal lines, among them:
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert...
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
