(To me, this poem represents a response to the election of a dictator whose only concern is himself and his own power. It has always seemed terribly frightening and comforting, all at once. Time is a scythe.)
"No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
"And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'"
"The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:"

"Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things"
"Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command"
Chaaya Prabhat's illustrations for Shelley's poem, "Ozymandias
"I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert."

Only normal business practice to make the shelves reflect that reality. Because B&N is not in the business of teaching 'woke'.
They are in the business of selling books.
