Explore "In the British Museum" by Felix Leigh on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
If you want to see all sorts of wonderful things,
Stuffed crocodiles, mammoths, and sloths, / Hairy ducks with four feet, and fishes with wings, / Fat beetles, and strange spotted moths;
And enormous winged bulls with long beards, carved in stone, / Dug up from Assyria's sand, / And old blackened mummies as dry as a bone, / Discovered in Egypt's lone land,
And beautiful statues from Greece and from Rome, / And other fine things without end, -- / You will find you can see half the world here at home, / If a day in this place you will spend.
