    Congratulations, kokopup! You'll host the next puzzle?

    Although dismal this is one of my favorite quotes. Shelley's Ozmandias is often quoted out of context which gives Ozymandias's quote a different meaning.

    A character in a book quoted the line and it didn't fit with the finale of the book so I bought a book of Shelley's poems so I could figure out what he meant. ( Since language and Literature aren't my thing, this is a step up for me. )

    "This way, too, you shall pass."

    Next one will be more positive.



    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 Bysshe Shelley, from Ozymandias

    Meowmie to Lucy Lou and Barney, and Aunt to Timmy (RIP)

    Former kitties now in foster care: Nellie aka Eleanor van Fluffytail (at a Cat Cafe), Lady Jane Grey, Bob the Bobtail, and Callie. Kimi has been adopted into another family that understands Siamese. HRH Oliver Woodrow von Katz is in a Sanctuary.

    I'm Homeless, but with resources, and learning to live again.


    RIP Timmy (nephew kitty) May 17, 2018, Mr. Spunky (May 10, 2017), Samwise (Dec 2, 2014), Emily (Oct 8, 2013), Rose (Sept 24, 2001), Maggie (Fall 2003)
