"To the unchanging gods, everything impermanent is soft. The whole material world is like a blanket fort: and they nestle in the great stone caverns, inside engine cylinders, and in the spaces between eyes and brains" —@ctrlcreep.bsky.social
"Ozymandias Replies
So, friend, you think my face and legs in stone
Are signs that I have failed? Friend, think again.
When I ascended to my marble throne
The land was forest, meadow, lakeside glen.
I took it and I wasted it. This desert tract
Stands as my most expansive monument:
Dead-life, as blank as hope, as bald as fact.
I made a world of sand. And it's this spent
Stage-set, bleached clean, that I am proudest of—
More than my palaces and bling and war—
Because it's the perfection of my love
When my rule's push came to my people's shove.
We tyrants know what power's really for.
I made my desolation to endure."
