Ozymantis ① Returning from overseas, I have seen the ancient desert country Some stone statues were half destroyed, only the giant legs remained Squat among the gravel.like head sideways, Half buried in the sand, but the human face is still terrible, That sneer, that commanding arrogance, It shows that the carver has seen through the master's heart, That's why I carved the stone so that it looked as good as it looks, And the hands that carve the image and the heart that resembles the Lord Early into ashes.The big characters on the seat are in the eyes: "I am the King of kings,

Unparalleled feats, dare to convince the Lord of Heaven! " Nothing else but around the ruins, The lonely flat sand is empty and vast, Stretching out to the desolate quarters. 1817 Translated by Wang Zuoliang ① Ozymantis is the Egyptian king Remesis II in the thirteenth century BC World.His tomb is in Thebes, shaped like a huge sphinx.
