Ramses is still better known than Shelley, some 5k years later. Ozymandias won.

In no small part due to Shelley.

By the by, if you haven't seen the Coen brothers' film "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs", which features this poem, I highly recommend stopping everything, popping some corn, and watching it as soon as feasible.

Few months back, I came across this poem in the anthology The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. There is a story that begins at 30 mins. That story stayed with me for a long time… It’s a story of how things undergo obsolescence and how it was relevant to my own life. I used know a technology which became out of date and I lost my job.
