DAD: Babe, I think the kid has Ovid
MOM: What? Covid?
CHILD:
Rose darke and full of foggye mist. And now they were within
A kenning of the upper earth, when Orphye did begin
DAD:
To dowt him lest shee followed not, and through an eager love
Desyrous for to see her, he his eyes did backward move.

WHAT'S up YouTube, it's your boy Bartleby the Scrivener here, coming at you for another day of the I Would Prefer Not To challenge. Be sure to SMASH that subscribe button and hit that bell so you don't miss a single video. If you saw last week's video, you'll know I am now SLEEPING in the office.

When you choose to interpret something in an overly literal way, that’s called autistic license.

Pagliacci you say? Fascinating, I myself have never heard of this--he's a Clown you say? And you hear he's funny? I would love to hear more of your thoughts, or any specific feedback about him if you have it. Which jokes landed. Just curious. Excited to learn more about this guy for the first time.

A legend lives on from a land that’s long gone,
of two legs made of stone in the desert.
A face in the sand has a sneer of command
that could rule us and mock us and feed us.
The pedestal there says: “Mighty, despair,
at the Works of King Ozymandias.”

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says

Ozy, the great king Mandias,
Had some mighty Works right there.
And if you looked upon them,
You would certainly despair.
Then one long-forgotten day,
A sculptor came to say,
“Pose for the future Mighty,
Make a sneer of cold command.”
All of the statue fragments,
Now are sinking in the sand.
Had some mighty Works right there.
And if you looked upon them,
You would certainly despair.

Since hashtags are not really the same kind of thing here as they were on Twitter, I'll use this thread to collect any of the Ozymandias-related gems I come across in my timeline. If the name doesn't ring a bell, here is the original. 1/
Ozymandias
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...

if you consider inflation over the last 500 years, the price of a book should be $100,000
AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising
