Answers
The poet says that it was a time when the Ozymandias was a very mighty and prosperous king.He addressed himself as the king of kings and also made a huge statue of himself but now at present his statue is totally destructed,he is not remembered by anywon. All his glory and pride is destructed with time and now,there is no body to remember him.
Answer:
The central piece of irony in this poem is that the statue of Ozymandias was constructed to show off his power and grandeur, but when the poem's narrator stumbles across it, in what seems to be much further in the future, it is mostly ruins in a remote desert. The poem highlights the reality that all of humankind and our creations are ephemeral. No matter a person's status or power in their day, they will eventually perish.
