ozymandias is a sonnet by P.B Shelley. it conveys the idea that human glory and greatness are short lived. time works havoc with monuments and statues made by the kings to immortalize their name and fame. thus, the poem depicts the fertility of human glory and greatness.
ozymnadias was a great egyptian king. he made his statue to immortalize his name and fame. with the passage of time his glory and greatness disappeared. his life-like statue lay in ruins in a desert.
a traveler from egypt notices the broken statue of the king ozymnadias. he find two huge and trunk less legs of the statue standing on a platform in a lonely desert. near them lies, half-buried, the broken face of the statue. he sees the expression of arrogance and sense of authority on the face of the statue. it was the artist's hand which reproduced the king's feeling on the face of the statue. it was the artist's hand which reproduced the king's feeling in his geart. the following words were written on the pedestal:
'my name is ozymandias,king of kings'
the word reflect that ozymandias was a king of kings but he didn't realize that the human pride and arrogance cannot live long. there's no trace of his kingdom or greatness anywhere.
