When I saw Ozymandias referred to as a “dry laundry list,” I cringed and started searching for an e-mail address to complain into.
I passed on the opportunity to point out the finer details of that poem, of the opinion that if they missed it the first, second or third time around (assuming they did more than skim over it, which seems most likely.)
But it’s good to know I’m not the only one with enough taste to recognize one of Shelley’s better works for something other than an easily-dismissed “laundry list.”

I felt bad about harshing on the guy, but Jeez–if you’re going to expatiate on education you can’t do it from a position of ignorance.
Cheers,
