      Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
      Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
      Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
      And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
      Tell that its coder well those passions read
      Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
      The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed
