Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert...Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away

What message might the poet be trying to express with this poem? Be sure to consider where the sculpture of Ozymandias was found, and what kind of condition the sculpture was in when the traveler found it. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answer 2

Ozymandias

The poet is trying to assert the fact that Time does not side with anyone. However powerful, strong and valorous a person might be, Time makes every mortal perish.    

Explanation:

• Ozymandias is a famous sonnet by the Romantic poet P.B. Shelley.
• The sonnet emphasises on the futility of existence in the iron hands of Time.
• Ozymandias was a very powerful dictator. People at the time of his reign were terrorized by him.
• None had the strength or courage to revolt against him.
• Time however ruled him down and shattered his pride.
• Not only did Time cause the end of his tenure on Earth but also destroyed his gigantic statue.
• Mercilessly his statue was beheaded due to Time.
• The once powerful ruler was completely forgotten due to Time.
• The reference of the desert where his broken statue lay helps create a visual image of extinction, bareness and futility.
• The message confirmed through the poem is that all are meted the same fate in the hands of Time.
