Question

summary of ozymandiyas

Answer 1

It was obvious that the statue was of a man who sneered with contempt for those who were weaker than himself, yet fed his people because of something in his heart.On the pedestal of the statue these words are inscribed, ‘‘My name is Ozymandias, I am the king of kings.
