Thank you Margovich(hope i spelled it right!)
Im not aloud to do poetry, i think ive found an xerpt from Cleopatra that could work, tell me what you think:

The sun had crept up in the sky, and the marvelous shadows of the Sphinx were disappearing. I stared at the melancholy face of the creature. Had we been here at dawn, we would have seen his face bathed in those first rays that are pink and soft, for he faces east. He has greeted the rising of Re for-how many years? No one knows. We believe he is the oldest thing on earth. Who built him? We do not know. Why? We do not know. Is he to guard the pyrmaids? Were they built to lie under his protection? A mystery. Sand covers his paws, and every few hundered years it is dug away. The desert blows it in again, and he settles down in his soft, golden bed. He rests, but does not sleep.

Now thats good . I think i even see some irony in those last sentences there. Not to much Figuritive Langy though...
