AMC has released a new poetic, ominous "Breaking Bad" teaser that features Walter White (Bryan Cranston) reading Percy Bysshe Shelley's 1818 sonnet "Ozymandias."

Cranston reads the poem in White's gravelly voice as time-lapse shots of the New Mexico desert, Walter and Jesse Pinkman's Rv and the White flash across the screen.

Poetry played a large role in where "Breaking Bad" left off. At the end of the first half of Season 5, Walter's brother-in-law, DEA Agent Hank Schrader, discovered his secret "Heisenberg" identity by reading an inscription in Walt Whitman's "Leaves Of Grass."
