Both the poets talk about the destructive nature of time. There are two views that can be adopted to analyse the power of time. First is the positive view, where time matures and enriches people's lives and conserves monuments of history. The negative view lays emphasis on where time destroys everything in its path, like the fall of an empire or a civilisation. Poems that are to be analysed focus on the destructive power of time. It is seen that the passage of time is a symbol of destruction and decay which creates a great impact on the readers. The images of destruction are much more powerful than the subtle images of maturing and enriching people or wine. Hence in both the poems, the poets adopt the second view of time which is destructive and overshadowing the great monuments.

Both the sonnets describe time’s power and sway over all the entities of life. Time is the supreme and immortal king who dominates everything. In the sonnet 'Not Marble Nor the Gilded Monuments', Shakespeare glorifies poetry and art. According to him time and war can destroy everything, but not poetry and art. Many gory wars have been fought in the world since the beginning of civilization. Towns, cities, kingdoms, and countries were destroyed in those wars. But time could not destroy poetry and art; the most ancient poetry and art exist till present times. So, the poet decides to immortalizes his friend in the sonnet 'Not Marble Nor the Gilded Monuments' According to him death won't be able to have any control over his friend's destiny; nor shall any enemy be able to do him any harm. The praises of his noble deeds will be read and admired by the coming generations. The coming generations of mankind will remember the memory of his loving and kind deeds in their memories by reading the rhymes created by the poet. Thus the memory of his friend will remain alive for ever until the Judgement Day.
However, in the poem ‘Ozymandias’, P.B. Shelley only describes the omnipotence of time. It has the power to turn the mightiest of kings like Ozymandias and all their kingdoms into ruins and ashes. In this poem the poet does not talk about poetry or any other art’s superiority over time. In this poem time is all powerful. However, in Shakespeare’s poem poetry is more powerful than time...
