Among Christ's flock a perilous infidel,
A wolf for the meek lambs--if you can't swim
Beware of Providence.
(Julian And Maddalo)

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!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
With hue like that when some great painter dips His pencil in the gloom of earthquake and eclipse.
