10. What's Art for? - "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley [cameo by Pres. John F. Kennedy]

After finishing the original nine-episode curriculum, I'll be diving into Romantic Poet Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias," asking the question, What is art for? or Why are the arts important? I'll be sharing why I think "Ozymandias" is primarily about the longevity and importance of the arts over and against other interpretations -- with a cameo from President John F. Kennedy.
