 The reminder of transience is exciting enough to me.  In some ways I feel like the opening of this project is archaeology in advance. Here's Horace Smith, a friend of Shelley's:  In Egyptâs sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic leg, which far off throws The only shadow that the desert knows: âI am great OZYMANDIAS,â saith the stone, âThe King of Kings; this mighty city shows âThe wonders of my hand.â The cityâs gone,
Nought but the leg remaining to disclose The site of this forgotten Babylon. We wonder, and some hunter may express Wonder like ours, when throâ the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the wolf in chace,
He meets some fragments huge, and stops to guess What powerful but unrecorded race Once dwelt in that annihilated place. GMail doesn't have rotating .sigs, but you can see mine at http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/signatures
