Ozymandias 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 lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. 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.

‘Now all the land spoke with one language (mouth) and one speech (tongue). But at the time of setting out from the east, it happened that they saw a lowland in the land of Šinʿār, with them settling there. And so they spoke to one another, saying, “Come, let’s put bricks together, baking (them) through”, as they had bricks for rock and sticky mud for mortar. They further spoke, saying, “Come, let’s build us a town and an enormous house, with the top of it upon the sky, and bring about a name for ourselves so that we might not scatter through all the land.” But Yahweh came below so that he might look at the town and the enormous house that the children of people built. On that, Yahweh spoke, saying, “Look, the clan are united, having one language, so they set out to do that, and so they will be barred from nothing that they might think about doing. Come, let us come below and throw their language into confusion there, so that, one to another, they might not apprehend the language.” So Yahweh scattered them from there through all the land, and so they stopped building the town. For this reason the town is called Bāḇel, because there Yahweh threw the language of all the land into confusion, and because from there Yahweh scattered them through all the land.’

And all the earth had one language and one tongue. And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place. And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth. And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth. And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building. And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs. Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another. So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town. So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.

Once there was a farmer whose horse ran away. His neighbor came over to tell him he felt sorry for him, only to be told in return: "Who knows what is good or bad?" It was true. The next day the horse returned, bringing with it eleven wild horses it had met during its adventurous escape. The neighbor came over again, this time to congratulate the farmer on his good fortune. Only to be told once again "Who knows what is good or bad? True this time too; the next day the farmer's son tried to tame one of the wild horses and fell off, breaking his leg. His neighbor came back again one more time to express how bad he felt But for the third time all the farmer had to say was: "Who knows what is good or bad?" And once again the farmer was correct, for this time, the king of that land had started a war and the following day soldiers came by to draft young men into the army, but because of his injury the son was not taken.
