The speaker of one of this man's poems says "Speak! for thou long enough hast acted dummy" despite the fact that "thou hast a tongue" and "thou art standing on thy legs, above ground."
The speaker of one of this man's poems says "Speak! for thou long enough hast acted dummy" despite the fact that "thou hast a tongue" and "thou art standing on thy legs, above ground." This author of "Address to the Mummy at Belzoni's Exhibition" collected his essays in Gaieties and Gravities and penned historical novels like Reuben Apsley and Brambletye House. With his brother James, this author wrote a number of incredibly popular parodies of contemporary authors, The Rejected Addresses. This poet's most famous work posits that "some ($) Hunter may express / Wonder like ours" when he finds the ruins of London and "stops to guess / What powerful but unrecorded race / Once dwelt in that annihilated place." That poem mentions "the site of this forgotten Babylon," where there "stands a gigantic Leg" "in Egypt's sandy silence." For fifteen points, identify this poet whose "Ozymandias" was written as a competition with Percy Shelley.
