Ozymandias is Shelley’s anthologised poem written in 1817, and one of his most famous.
The statue is described as two huge standing legs, without a torso. A massive but crumbling stone head lies nearby and half buried in the sand. The face is supposed to have had a ‘sneer of cold command’.
The ominous looking remains stood on a pedestal on which the words ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look on my works, oh mighty, and despair!’ were seen etched. An endless desert, spread out on all sides of the statue.
