Ozymandias
Reference:
These lines have been taken from “OZYMANDIAS” written by P.B Shelly.”
CONTEXT:
This poem shows that glory and greatness, power and prestige all are the slaves of death. The statue of Egyptian king who claimed to be “the king of Kings” is now broken and neglected. It bears witness to the futile attempt of man to keep alive the memory of his greatness in the form of statues. He forgets that the hammers of the builders are always succeeded by the hammers of decay and destruct.
Explanation:
This poem shows that glory and greatness, power and prestige all are the slaves of death. Once the poet met travelers who were returning from the ancient’s land of Egypt. The traveler told the poet of a broken statue that he had seen in a desert. The statue was of an old Egyptian king, ozymandias. It was now in a dilapidated condition. Only the big and trunkless legs of the statue were standing. The head was broken and was lying near half sunken in sand.
