Question

what was the sculptor's opinion of ozymandias?

Answer 1

Great poem and great posts!  The irony is hard to miss, I think.    Here we are in this wasteland of a desert.  The last lines say the sand stretches far away, "lone and level," "boundless and bare." There is literally nothing for miles in any direction--except for this "colossal wreck."  The statue (more like a monument, actually) was once the mark of a great leader, Ozymandias, who controlled all the lands and peoples as far as the eye could see.  He called himself the "king of kings," and he warned anyone drawing near enough to read the statue that they were to observe what he had created and "despair."  Apparently they were to tremble in their boots (sandals?) at the mere thought of "messin' with The Man."  Now, of course, nothing is left but a "shattered visage" and a whole lotta nothin'.  I love #4 post's commentary about that.  This is a story of pride and arrogance about eternal fame which, ironically, turns to nothing but dust...or sand.

Hope it helps you....
