  • I met a traveller from an antique land

    Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

    Stand in the desart. 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!"

    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

    Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

    The lone and level sands stretch far away.

    - Percy Shelley, “Ozymandias”

    How? Press button… Cross before walk signal. Make everyone else wait. How is that cool? If you’re just going to cross anyway, don’t press the button.

    I don’t understand the down votes. Seriously. What am I missing. What makes the button presser a hero to make everyone else pause for them, when they aren’t even there anymore?
