Post #5,946 by Andrew Grygus 8/20/01 3:11:41 AM Reply	Well, seems to me that if what Ozymandias . . . . . thought worthwhile was to be remembered, he succeeded damned well. 3000 years or so is more than most manage - and now, preserved in literature, his memory is likely to last as long as Western civilization (three or four weeks more at least).

Dump his namby-pamby Eunuchs machines for New Professional ones.. Well of course he did - because of the happy accident of Erato, the Muse of Lyric Poetry + Keats and the ephemeral Arts. But not via his er (sorry) paradigm at all! Keats is the immortal - he a mere vehicle, a tiny bauble of failed Ambition - existing as a barnacle on that large Vessel. A mere Butt for future generations' obloquy! So There. :-\ufffd er re the 3 weeks: See Science forum. Can we make it to 60 years after Alamogordo / Trinity ? 56 years, one month, 2 days and counting... .. .

In the long run, the stone masons did a better job, passing his name on to another generation of poets who's own work has been committed to acidic pulp and magnetic media.
