just now realizing that while "Ozymandias" is conventionally read as a parable about the fleeting nature of power, it works just as well as a manifestation of the orientalist need for the middle east to be a history-less tabula rasa ready to be overwritten by western colonialist expansion. i would say "in this essay," but i looked it up and of course there is already a bunch of scholarship about this!
