“Ozy was named after ‘Ozymandias,’ the famous sonnet by Shelley on the theme of the impermanence of all things and people — even the great pharaoh known by that name, whom the ancient Greeks tried to render immortal with a colossal statue, which crumbled.”
Makes one suspect they read the tweet about the poem, and not the poem itself.
